Our Customers Challenge the Status Quo

FAST’s flexible business model has helped more than 25 insurance customers begin their core systems transformation into digital and the future. We strive to have all relationships be a “win-win”, reduce implementation risks, and bet on our customer’s success.

Here’s What’s Possible (because it’s been done)

FAST has helped customers reduce the risk of implementation time and cost to a small fraction of traditional models. We apply a version of the famous “Moore’s Law” to ourselves – striving to consistently and dramatically reduce the time and cost of our implementations through better software and processes. Customers have achieved tangible results for today while positioning for the future.
