Regional property-casualty insurer scaling underwriting and operations infrastructure
EMC Insurance is a 113-year-old property-casualty carrier operating across all 50 states, now accelerating hiring across underwriting, ops, and data functions. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-dependent (Office, Dynamics 365, Power Platform) with emerging cloud analytics (Snowflake, dbt, AWS, Azure, SageMaker), suggesting a mid-stage digital transformation from legacy systems toward self-service BI and predictive underwriting. The project roadmap—new product development, underwriting strategy refinement, agent experience tools, and process automation via Power Platform—reflects a company modernizing how it selects and retains profitable business while improving agency relationships.
