Legacy to Leading Edge: Rewiring a Major Insurer for the Next Decade

28 May 2026
Main Stage
Operating Models & Execution

What does it take to transform one of Europe's leading life insurers without disrupting the business that serves millions of policyholders every day? This fireside chat traces a remarkable journey: a 25-year technology partnership that has evolved from core system stability to bold digital reinvention.

Hear how Vida Caixa is navigating one of insurance's most complex challenges, modernising mission-critical infrastructure while keeping the lights on, and what it really takes to turn ambition into execution. From the hard-won lessons of large-scale IT transformation to a forward-looking Master Plan built around AI, this session goes beyond the headline wins to explore the decisions, setbacks, and strategic bets that define genuine change.

  • Understand what separates successful IT transformations from stalled ones, and the cultural as much as technical factors at play
  • Explore how AI is being adopted pragmatically inside a traditional insurer, with a focus on real outcomes over hype
  • Discover how long-term partnerships and smart modernisation approaches can future-proof even the most complex legacy environments
