A three-decade legacy stack now limits speed, blocks new products, and risks regulatory non-compliance. The question is no longer whether to transform—it's how to do it without betting the business.
Lost speed, manual workarounds, and missed market windows cost Continental an estimated fourteen million dollars per year in opportunity cost and inefficiency.
Web, mobile, and partner portals built on a unified API layer, enabling 24-hour product launches.
Policy and claims as microservices, independently scalable and deployable.
Real-time insights powering personalized pricing, risk modeling, and operational decisions.
Three phases. Each delivers measurable value. Each de-risks the next. Phase one proves the approach in 90 days before we ask for phase two.
Customer portal MVP, data lake infrastructure, governance playbook. First value in 90 days.
Policy engine migration, claims workflow rebuild, integration layer. Speed doubles.
Full digital product suite, ML-driven pricing, partner ecosystem. New revenue streams.
Every large program carries risk. We identify, quantify, and mitigate upfront—no surprises mid-flight.
| Risk | L | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Integration complexity | M | Incremental strangler pattern |
| User adoption lag | M | Change champions + training |
| Data quality issues | L | Upfront profiling & cleansing sprint |
| Scope creep | H | Strict phase gates + backlog |
| Vendor lock-in | L | Cloud-agnostic architecture |
Continental retains full IP. All code, architecture, and data models belong to Continental. Forge Digital provides expertise and execution; you own the asset.
Before we ask for phase two, we deliver a working customer portal with real transactions, a live data lake feeding your first dashboard, and a governance playbook your team runs. Value you can see, risk you can measure.
We're asking for a $2.4M commitment to phase one. In return: a working portal, a data foundation, governance in place, and measurable value in 90 days. Then we decide together on phase two.
