Turnkey solution using DCA

Our experts use DCA to automate the steps of a carefully defined methodology. Services typically include project planning, project management, data analysis and cleansing, data conversion and migration, and data balancing.

Pre-project data migration project planning

An exhaustive and detailed plan that accurately estimates the cost, timeline and resource requirements is the starting point to any successful migration project.

Migration project management

With significant insurance company, data conversion and insurance system experience, UCT experts provide leadership and guidance to both the client and the project team.

Data analysis/auditing and cleansing

Years of data migration experience has taught us that real data often contains unexpected values. Using our proprietary DCA technology, we can assist you in identifying and repairing data anomalies.

Data conversion and migration

The core of your project is data conversion and migration. UCT has the keys to success – unparalleled expertise, a proven and repeatable methodology, and conversion-focused automation tools.

Data balancing

A UCT-led conversion validates the conversion accuracy by balancing of all financial values, not just record counts. For example, we compare key actuarial and metric data points in the source system to the same data points in the target system.

Proof of Concept

UCT has a proof-of-concept opportunity for those who want to try our solution on a smaller scale before committing to a full-scale engagement.

See what clients have to say about working with us.

"UCT was a pleasure
to work with...

They brought a disciplined approach, deep domain knowledge, and a thorough understanding of both our source and target systems to our conversion project. I found them flexible to work with yet they knew when to push us to assure a successful outcome.” – John Heidelberger – VP & CIO Individual Life and Disability at The Guardian

"UCT’s devotion, hard work and effort helped make the conversion project a success...

We are pleased that the system is fully implemented and we know that it couldn’t have been done without the talented resources at UCT. Many thanks to the UCT team.” – Judith Haddad – EVP, CIO/CTO at Patriot National Insurance Group

“All integration projects are difficult, so was ours...

But the easiest part of the project was the conversion. And that is because we used UCT.” – Francine Hampelman – Senior Director, Individual Insurance and Financial services Development at La Capitale Financial Group

"With UCT, we didn't have to start from scratch...

They already had a proven compare tool that was both slick and quick. We were able to successfully convert 300 files in a fraction of the time it would have taken with any other offering. UCT proved to be a highly risk effective solution for us.”

"When we first looked at UCT, we didn't realize how good they were.

But, on taking a closer look, we realized what an incredible conversion toolset they offered. It was not just robust, but promised to deliver the conversion results we needed – faster, better and at a comparable cost to the other options we evaluated.”

"All the mapping issues are resolved, thanks to the perfect validation reports generated out of the DCA tool!

And the guidance from your team was immense! The extraction routines are performance-tuned to the extent that the extraction time for entire production contracts of 110,000 is less than 20 minutes!” – Excerpt from a customer status report

“Going into the project, I had some concerns...

But I am happy to share with you that my anxiety is gone, and I have every confidence that we have the right group of people working on building the CFF files, and that our UCT team will deliver on all the promises that have been made.”

"UCT's staff was a great asset during the assignment...

And it played an important role in our project’s success.” – Greg Engler – AVP, I.T. Product Development & Maintenance at Penn Mutual

"The group recon, member recon and bill recon reports have been instrumental in keeping us on plan...

…and they continue to produce on every group we convert. So, it is very easy to recommend your company since we have seen great results.”

"To all our UCT resources, a huge THANK YOU!

I learned today that the POLICY CFF and BALANCE CFF files are a full week ahead of schedule. The other three files – ACCTG, AUTO and CHANGE – will be delivered next week.”

“I know that all of you at UCT have worked many hours...

…faced and resolved issues, and have moved ahead despite ambiguity. On behalf of our conversion team, and the TOPSAC team leadership, thank you very much!”

"Dayna and team have been doing a great job...

…and they are a pleasure to work with.”

"With all the reuse in place, we were able to reduce timelines by one calendar month...

… and effort was reduced by more than 20%.. In fact, the DCA tool is so easy to operate, only one person is currently involved in mapping entire project maps in the tool.” – Excerpt from a customer status report

"Working closely with our vendors (UCT and AdminServer) made the initial implementation very successful.

UCT’s discipline and experience proved invaluable in the effort and the AdminServer solution has the flexibility in product and process design as well as the capacity we needed.” – E.P. Rogers Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, The MONY Group

“Our decision to work with UCT proved to be a good one.

In addition to their proven expertise and fixed-price contract, we found that UCT brought tremendous discipline and project management to the conversion effort. They understood that conversion is more science than art and were able to apply their past experiences and knowledge gained over the years.” – Carol Macaluso , Vice President/Chief Financial Officer, Annuities Division, MONY Life Insurance Company

"Working with UCT has allowed us to devote internal resources to other areas of the project.

We have been very pleased with their experience and talent.” – Mike Braun, AAL Vice President, MIS Division

“We wanted to take some risks without sacrificing quality to dramatically reduce our costs and timeline for this project.

UCT’s insurance industry and conversion experience, as well as their toolset, mitigated some of that risk for us. The project results say it all. UCT was instrumental in the success of this project.” – Program Director, Major US Life Insurance Provider

“The high level of communications, teamwork and commitment of all members of the joint team made this project a huge success.

Any obstacles that arose during the project were resolved because the team members were open, creative and flexible to issue resolution. The team did an outstanding job.” – Corporate Sponsor, Major US Life Insurance Provider

“UCT brought more to the table than just tools and conversion know-how.

They also provided very effective project management and training. UCT came on-site, gave our staff an overview of the product and walked us through the data mapping to ensure knowledge transfer throughout the project.” – Vice President of Strategic Systems and Model Office at Major Insurance Carrier

“UCT has earned the right to be a key strategic partner.

They exceeded our expectations with a successful conversion project. They did most of the work remotely, which made this a very cost-effective approach without compromising the quality of the results.” – Chief Information Officer at Major Insurance Carrier
