Modernizing Insurance with Microsoft Fabric: Scalable ECM for Resilience, Compliance, and Customer-F

Abstract:

As insurers navigate increasing regulatory demands, rising customer expectations, and climate-driven crises, Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems have become foundational to digital modernization. This session explores how Microsoft Fabric’s unified data platform empowers insurance enterprises to evolve legacy ECM into a scalable, intelligent, and cloud-native ecosystem.

Learn how integrated dataflows, semantic models, and low-code automation enable seamless content orchestration across underwriting, claims, and compliance operations. Discover how firms like MetLife achieved a 40% reduction in compliance processing times and how USAA processed 88% of catastrophe claims documents within 72 hours during Hurricane Harvey thanks to real-time analytics and mobile-enabled ECM.

We'll dive into reference architectures that combine Fabric’s lake house model with AI services for intelligent content classification, RESTful APIs for cross-system data sharing, and Microsoft Purview for end-to-end regulatory oversight. Real-world case studies and demos will highlight innovations such as blockchain-based audit trails, self-service customer portals, and disaster recovery readiness.

Whether you're a data architect, cloud strategist, or insurance technology leader, this session will deliver actionable insights into using Microsoft Fabric to transform ECM from a document repository into a strategic engine for compliance, agility, and customer trust..
