Tiivistelmä
Insurance companies still have old mainframe computer systems in use. When these old mainframe systems age their maintenance gets more difficult and more expensive. That is why Insurance companies want to migrate to modern computer systems. Conversion of insurance policies from old mainframe systems to new computer systems is a complicated and long process which contains many things to consider.
Actual conversion of insurance policies starts from data export from the legacy system to a form that the new system requires. After data export, the policies are validated so that the information in the policies is correct and in the form that the new system requires. Also, this way the life cycle of the policies in the new system is confirmed. After validation, policies can be converted to the new system.
This process also requires lots of specifications before the export of policies for the new system can begin. Also, after the conversion phase, the policies need to be monitored for verifying that they start to live correctly in the new system.
In this thesis I shall explain how the conversion process works. Main point of this work is to show how the validation of insurance policies is made. The validation of insurance policies presented in this work is rule-based. The validation uses a rule engine and a large amount of rules. The rule engine and the business rules are introduced in this work.
