Commercial P&C insurer modernizing claims and underwriting on cloud data infrastructure
FCCI is a 65-year-old mutual insurance carrier (501–1,000 employees, 20 states + D.C.) undergoing active data modernization. The tech stack reveals an infrastructure shift: Databricks, Delta Lake, and Unity Catalog signal a move from legacy batch systems toward a cloud lakehouse, while Duck Creek OnDemand (SaaS) adoption alongside Duck Creek upgrades suggests parallel modernization of claims and policy systems. Hiring acceleration in data (5 open roles) and engineering (4) outpaces underwriting (9) and ops (12), indicating the company is prioritizing platform capability over volume—a common pattern for insurers exiting legacy constraints.
