My colleague Jamie Macgregor and I have published the Celent’s regular report profiling policy administration system (PAS) vendors in the life and pension space in Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA) back in November 2011. This report profiles 34 systems offered to EMEA insurers on the market. Beside this research we thought it would be valuable for our subscribers to understand our view of this market. To do so we have decided to add three other pieces of research, whose objective is to explain the dynamics of the life and pension PAS market in EMEA:

1.Deal trends: First of all we have tried to have a deeper look at past life and pension PAS deals in EMEA and to evaluate how this market might evolve in terms of size going forward. In the frame of this analysis, we have identified which vendors were having good traction in the recent past and evaluated PAS provider’s market shares. The EMEA life and pension PAS market is highly fragmented with a downward trend in terms of new deals. Therefore we expect the market to rationalize going forward.

2.Insurer’s perception: It is difficult to comprehend the dynamics of a market for a PAS provider without understanding what customers think and what are the differences of perception across regions. In this report, we identify how customer satisfaction and perception of IT vendors capabilities as well as life and pension PAS has evolved recently in three geographies: UK, Continental and Eastern Europe. Through this analysis it appears clear that PASs are not uniformly used across regions and that a core feature for a specific insurer could just be perceived to be a simple support function for another one conducting business in a different geography.

3.Functionality and technology trends: The last piece of our work around life and pension PAS in EMEA consists in providing our views on solution’s functionality and technology aspects. While the deal trends and insurer’s perception rely mainly on factual data, our view on the future of PAS in terms of functionality and features as well as technology is an extrapolation of what we have been seeing on the market over the past few years based on our discussions with IT vendors and insurers.

Jamie Macgregor and I are going to present a webinar on the functionality and technology trends tomorrow. If you are interested in joining us then do not hesitate to register here: http://www.celent.com/node/29433
