Northdoor has completed a major data migration project for insurance provider, Markel International. Having decided on a new underwriting system, Markel needed to replace eight core policy administration systems and called upon Northdoor to deliver the migration.

Northdoor migrated 40 years’ worth of data from multiple different source systems with 12 million ledger entries and 2.4 million inwards policies. Nearly 20,000 source fields were reviewed as part of the mapping (planning) process and almost 2,000 validation checks were made to ensure the highest quality data in the new platform.

Les Agambar, solutions architect at Markel International, says: “We knew this data migration project would be challenging from the start. We therefore looked for a partner that had in-depth knowledge of the insurance sector and understood the nuances of our system requirements for the new application. We chose Northdoor because not only did it have a really strong track record, having delivered numerous migration projects for other insurance companies, but it also had proven processes and templates that we could use straight away. The onsite Northdoor team demonstrated an exceptional level of commitment and diligence during their engagement and have been a crucial factor in the successful adoption of our new underwriting platform.”
