LOS ANGELES - eTradeWire -- Each property and casualty insurer and MGA is unique in how they handle quoting, binding, maintaining and servicing a policy. Each has its own guidelines or rules, which agents need to follow. A policy administration system, or PAS, is the core platform used to follow the lifecycle of every policy.

Here are some key applications and benefits of how a PAS will improve workflows and reduce costs while enabling insurers to thrive.

What Is a Policy Administration System (PAS)?
Every insurance company or MGA has a policy administration system, even if it means that they are working with Excel files and pulling reports manually. However, these days, a PAS usually refers to an insurance software solution that uses technology to automate and streamline policy administration processes.

A PAS is also a centralized database that houses critical information about each policy and policyholder. Over the past few years, carriers and MGAs of all sizes have been ditching legacy systems for insurtech alternatives that are designed to help companies grow without increasing staff and while saving money doing it. The right policy administration system will have a strong return on investment (ROI).

A policy administration system may also be called "insurance software", "policy admin software" or "insurance policy management software". There may be many names for a PAS, but they are all used interchangeably. However, each system is different.

The right policy administration system will have essential features that are automated to help the carrier scale most effectively. See more on these critical features and functions below (goto https://modotech.com/blog/policy-administration-system-101 for the rest of the article)
