It provides insurers a flexible, rules-based environment for rapidly bringing products to market. Oracle's insurance policy administration system is compatible with Oracle's Application Integration Architecture, which enables easy integration with other back-office systems and existing legacy systems, so that insurers can progressively renovate their application portfolio while avoiding a large scale system replacement.
