The insurance sector in Spain is going through a critical phase in its digital transformation. Although more than 50% of insurers have already adopted emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing and Big Data, only 30% have managed to modernize their inherited systems, which slows the complete digitalization of the industry. This is reflected in a recent McKinsey report, which warns about the impact of these Legacy systems on the agility and operational efficiency of traditional insurers.
Nettaro: Personalized technology to accelerate modernization
In this context, technological consultants such as Nettaro They are positioned as key actors in the evolution of the insurance ecosystem. This Spanish firm has a development specialized department that works with leading insurers to integrate custom technological solutions. Its approach combines process automation, data analysis and observability capacities to deeply transform existing business models.
“We are helping insurers to reduce their operational costs and improve their efficiency through scalable solutions and adapted to their technological reality,” explains a Nettaro spokesman.
Data Lake: Efficiency based on mass data
One of its most outstanding implementations is the solution of Data Lake which has developed for a leading insurer of the sector. Designed to process 1.5 Terabytes of daily datathis platform automates key tasks, improves access to critical information and significantly reduces the time necessary for decision making. All encapsulated in Dockerwhich facilitates its deployment and migration, decreasing the costs and time of infrastructure management.
Digitization not only responds to a technical need, but also a market demand. The insurance sector represents near the 5% of Spanish GDPwith revenues by premiums that reached the 22,685 million euros In the first quarter of 2025, 6.8% more than the previous year. This growth trend remains solid, but to sustain it it is essential to gain efficiency and improve customer experience through technology.
The challenge of competing with the insurtech
In fact, according to the Mutuality Report, 83% of insurers agree that technology is redefining the sectorpressed by the rise of the insurtech, which are born digital and have modern and agile infrastructures based on blockchain and the cloud. Faced with them, traditional insurers fight with the rigidity of inherited systems, which raise costs and lengthen development times.
Observability: Key to prevent critical failures
This is where technologies such as Observability They charge special relevance. Nettaro applies this methodology to provide technical teams with a complete vision of the system status through metrics, traces and logs, allowing to detect and solve failures before they have a real impact. “With increasingly complex hybrid environments, the ability to anticipate problems is essential to maintain operational continuity,” they stand out from the consultant.
Generative AI: Opportunity with training barriers
On the other hand, generative artificial intelligence is emerging as one of the most important bets in the short term. He Global Insurance outlook 2025 Ey reveals that the 99% of insurers plan to invest in generativealthough 77% recognize that its workforce is not yet prepared for its implementation. In response, Nettaro collaborates with its clients to design training plans and adapted processes, maximizing the impact of AI on tasks such as customer service, fraud detection or predictive analysis.
The management of large volumes of data continues to be a challenge. Manual systems still present in many insurers slow down access to information and raise operational costs. The adoption of tools Business Intelligenceintegrated in Nettaro solutions, allows you to automate these processes and release resources for tasks of greater added value.
