Well, the company I work for has quotes from both CSC and Guidewire for their insurance packages (kind of an ERP for insurance companies), which would handle all of our processes, and they ran in the "tens of millions" category between licensing, implantation and other costs.

You can check http://www.guidewire.com/ or http://www.csc.com/ if you need a multimillion dollar insurance solution :)

Guidewire at least has hundreds of people working on their insurance suite, some of then I've written to sound very capable and I really like their development process. They even created their own language based on the JVM (Gosu).

I'm sure CSC has some equally good people, but I haven't come across them :)



CSC was the prime contractor for the Air Force's attempt at an ERP. 5 years and $1 billion later, there is no ERP to speak of.


Good thing we didn't go with them, then :) .

Personally, I thought Guidewire fit our needs very well (but I'm at the very bottom of the totem pole).
