Majesco describes Digital1st Insurance as a cloud-native, microservices and API-based platform-as-a-service supporting the introduction of business and consumer technology trends to insurance. Majesco Digital1st Insurance differs from the vendor’s core platform solutions for P&C and L&A and Group, though the vendor says that it can be integrated with Majesco’s core systems, and with other core software to accelerate their value.
