CSC announced a newly packaged global service, ConversionEdge, to help insurers consolidate or transition their life, annuity, and pension policy administration systems to support acquisitions and growth, improve customer service, and facilitate business process transformation.

ConversionEdge provides access to multi-disciplinary teams experienced in all aspects of systems conversion activities. CSC conversion centers in the United States, South Africa, and India use a common repository, including a knowledge portal, proprietary software tools, and training plans. The offering includes full-service conversion support from any source system to any life insurance, annuity, or pension policy administration system. Since 2000, the company has completed more than 150 conversions of varying size and complexity, totaling more than 20 million policies transitioned to CSC policy administration platforms.

"In today's turbulent economy, life insurance and annuity providers are aiming to reduce the number of their administration systems with minimal disruption to the business," says Jim Cook, president of CSC's Business Solutions and Services Sector. "We enable our clients to realize measurable cost savings and productivity improvements because of our extensive insurance industry experience, our global business model, and our time-proven techniques."
