While every implementation is tailored to your business goals, the process is always structured, fast, and collaborative. Socotra experts work closely with your team or implementation partner to maintain clarity and progress throughout our proven, phased implementation approach.
Socotra’s prototyping approach is the fastest, safest way to validate core system investment and reduce implementation risk.
In a focused 4–12 week proof of concept, an insurer’s team collaborates directly with our experts to configure products, integrate existing systems, and test out workflows. Because Socotra is highly intuitive, engineers become productive in days—not months. The outcome isn’t a mock-up or slide deck, but a functional product that solves real business challenges.
Many customers continue prototyping after go-live to quickly test and launch new products or workflows. With Socotra’s cloud-native architecture, open APIs, and proven methodology, insurers can rapidly experiment and get to market.
AI-Driven Prototyping at the Speed of Ideas
Supercharge prototyping with generative AI. Socotra’s well-documented APIs, structured data, and AI-ready architecture enable AI tools to create working solutions fast. For example, insurers can use generative AI to configure a new product in hours or generate a user interface in days. This allows insurers to quickly explore design options, validate functionality, and move into full implementation with speed and confidence.
This is the most critical stage of your journey—and where alternative core systems most often stumble. Our next-generation architecture, proven methodology, and deep insurance expertise have enabled more than 70 successful product launches. Once live, our deployments are stable, scalable, and ready for growth. Socotra’s industry-leading data model has gone live on dozens of products—without a single case of customization.
There’s never any mystery in a Socotra implementation. We work with you to create a detailed project plan, resource plan, check-in cadence, definition of deliverables, and governance structure. Our methodology—covering discovery, build, cutover, and support—is transparent and repeatable. This allows insurers to always know exactly what’s happening, what’s next, and who’s accountable. To see exactly how we deliver reliable, fast, and transparent go-lives, ask for our Implementation Playbook and see the process for yourself.
For most insurers, modernizing means more than launching new products—it also involves moving existing business to a new platform. Socotra has deep experience migrating over 15 books of business across all lines, both in-force or on-renewal. We understand that in-force migrations can be huge, complicated projects.
Our structured approach simplifies the process and ensures both old and new business are up and running smoothly. Socotra’s advanced tenant management also enables safe, repeatable migration testing before execution, reducing risk as you transition to modern technology.
Socotra makes it easy to expand across products, regions, and distribution channels. No matter how an insurer’s business grows, Socotra delivers enterprise-grade scale with industry-leading performance and reliability.
Launch and maintain hundreds of products and variations using Socotra’s pure-configuration inheritance model
Manage even the most complex products with unlimited fields, rules, and scheduled items across every line of business
Create and track product versions, which automatically update across policies, documents, and reports
Socotra simplifies both system and product maintenance—removing the costs and headaches that come with most core systems.
System Maintenance
Because Socotra is a mature cloud platform, insurers never have to worry about maintaining infrastructure. Security patches, server management, and performance tuning are all handled automatically, so your teams can focus on innovation instead of operations.
For most core systems, upgrades are so costly and painful that many insurers delay them for years, eventually running outdated, unsupported technology. Socotra eliminates that problem. Socotra uniquely delivers small, frequent upgrades with zero impact on uptime or deployments. Every customer is always on the latest version, automatically. Learn more about these and other advantages of Socotra’s cloud-native architecture.
Product Maintenance
Socotra also makes product updates simple and reliable:
Choose an implementation model that fits your team, timeline, and business needs. Socotra supports everything from lightweight launches to complex enterprise programs.
Insurer Internal Team
Best for insurers with in-house technical teams.
Retain full control and autonomy. Socotra’s complete documentation enables your team to get up to speed quickly, while our experts provide certification, mentorship, and ongoing support as needed. You maintain ownership of execution, with Socotra acting as a trusted advisor throughout.
Best for insurers who want to move fast without expanding internal teams.
Choose a Socotra certified partner or bring your own. The partner manages the day-to-day implementation, while Socotra provides technical oversight and coaching to both the partner and your team. This model lets you stay focused on outcomes without compromising on quality or speed.
Best for insurers seeking hands-on support from platform experts.
With decades of experience delivering core systems, Socotra Professional Services will ensure your implementation is planned and executed with the highest level of precision and transparency. During the process, Socotra will mentor your team to efficiently maintain the system after go-live with minimal support.
