As InsureTech Connect approaches in Las Vegas, the insurance industry is buzzing with innovation, disruption, and critical questions: How can we modernize legacy systems? How can we leverage data for more informed underwriting? How can we deliver seamless digital experiences without disrupting existing operations?
Introducing Moder (GoModer.com), a firm with deep roots in the mortgage and banking sectors, now channeling its proven expertise into the insurance domain. This isn’t a trend-driven pivot, but a natural evolution. With a strong foundation in financial services, Moder is uniquely positioned to help insurers navigate their digital transformation journeys with confidence.
Why now is the right time - and why Moder matters
1. Cross-domain credibility: “We get you.”
Moder has its origins in the mortgage, banking, and broader finance industry, where compliance, margin pressure, regulatory oversight, and risk modeling are integral to everyday operations. That depth of domain expertise is hard to replicate with an insurance-only focus. With its strong understanding of how financial controls, capital modeling, audit, risk, and vendor governance work in practice, Moder helps insurers anticipate challenges and avoid costly blind spots.
Modern transformation isn’t just about a new underwriting engine or a slick app. It’s about aligning people, processes, technology, and data in harmony. Moder brings all those capabilities under one roof:
2. Scale end-to-end across the people, process, technology, and data
People/talent & orchestration
Having evolved as a business-process and operations organization, Moder brings deep expertise in building, reskilling, and managing large teams. Insurers often face talent gaps, and Moder can help by supplying, working with, or coaching operational teams throughout the change.
Before adding automation, it’s essential to reexamine core workflows. Moder’s structured approach—rooted in process design, Lean principles, and continuous improvement—ensures insurers don’t just digitize inefficiencies, but transform them.
Process reengineering & optimization
Moder’s Digital Services portfolio spans AI, automation, platform modernization, and cloud infrastructure. Insurers can leverage this expertise by combining platform thinking, intelligent automation (RPA, decision engines, and document intelligence), and integration overlays to modernize scoring, claims servicing, policy administration, and other processes.
Technology & automation
True transformation treats data as a core asset. Moder helps insurers turn siloed information into predictive insights, risk signals, claims forecasts, portfolio optimization, and personalized customer experiences. Moving from descriptive to predictive analytics becomes seamless when supported by a robust transformation framework.
Data, analytics & insights
Insurance organizations are at very different starting points. Some may already have modern platforms and need automation overlays, while others may still rely on legacy systems. Moder offers modular solutions rather than “big-bang” mandates, meaning an insurer can opt to begin with claims automation, customer service augmentation, or underwriting workflow modernization. The flexibility reduces risk and lowers the barrier to starting.

4. Demonstrable risk governance and compliance posture
The insurance industry is susceptible to regulation, audit trails, and data privacy. Moder, with its foundation in regulated financial services, already enforces compliance, security, and governance policies—enabling insurers to pursue transformation initiatives with confidence.
What a partnership can look like
To ground this in concrete possibilities, here are a few illustrative transformation paths insurers might pursue with Moder as their guide and execution partner:
Claims automation and straight-through processing
Use natural language processing, document extraction, automated decision logic, and orchestration to reduce manual touchpoints and speed up claim resolution. Embedded human review can be isolated for exception handling, not the standard.
Underwriting augmentation through data + AI
Supplement traditional underwriting with alternative data sources and predictive models. Use analytics to identify fraud, tailor premiums, or flag risks—and integrate those insights into underwriting decision engines.
Digital front-end & modern customer experience
Rebuild policyholder portals, self-service apps, quote engines, or agent portals. Integrate unified customer data views, omnichannel servicing, and chat/assistive AI agents so that any customer interaction feels seamless and personalized.
Process outsourcing or co-managed operations
Insurers can offload or co-manage high-volume, non-strategic operations (e.g., policy administration, renewals, billing, customer service) to Moder’s operational teams, while retaining oversight and control.
Data platform modernization & analytics enablement
Migrate aging data architecture to modern cloud data lakes, deploy real-time ingestion pipelines, and build analytics sandboxes. From claims trending to risk accumulation to customer-level models, the insurer gains a trusted analytics backbone.
In today’s high-velocity insurance market, well-intended digital initiatives all too frequently start with a bang but end as technical lift or process graft - the dreaded “islands of automation”.
A last note: A vendor no more, an ally of transformation
There is a better way; insurers need a trusted partner who can manage the full stack - people, processes, technology, & information.
Moder’s path - from deep roots in overhauling financial services and into a purposeful push into insurance - provides it that singular perspective.
