Driving Changes, the openEuler Way—A Cost-Effective Path to Insurance Compliance

Driving Changes, the openEuler Way—A Cost-Effective Path to Insurance Compliance

Welcome back to our "Driving Changes, the openEuler Way" series! 👋

In our previous case—📖 Powering a Bank's Intelligent Customer Service Agent—we explored how openEuler helped a major bank build an intelligent customer service agent that's fast, secure, and designed for future growth.

This week, we're staying in the financial sector—but stepping into the insurance world, where deadlines are tight, data is massive, and cost-effectiveness is everything.The Phytium Platform Solution: Scalable, Compliant, Cost-Effective

The Compliance Clock Is Ticking

By the end of 2024, insurers in China had completed extensive consultations, system development, and platform reconstruction to prepare for 📜IFRS 17 (International Financial Reporting Standard 17) and 📜CAS 25 (China's local equivalent).

These rules weren't just accounting fine print—they represented a complete overhaul of how insurers report, calculate, and analyze their financials.

Since early 2025, CAS 25 has been running in parallel with the previous Chinese insurance contract standards, requiring insurers to:

  • Maintain granular, transparent financial reporting
  • Seamlessly consolidate policy, claims, and finance data
  • Run high-intensity calculations within strict time windows
  • Maintain absolute data consistency for compliance audits

Sounds like a tall order? It was—especially with the tight deadlines looming.

The Phytium Platform Solution: Scalable, Compliant, Cost-Effective 💡

To tackle this challenge, Phytium and software company Beiming teamed up to design a platform that meets the new standards—without breaking the budget.

Here's what they built:

All of this runs on Phytium processors and the openEuler-based KylinOS, delivering both high performance and cost efficiency. The system is built with a lakehouse architecture, layered data design, and functional modules, which together support seamless integration of insurance data across domains.

From this design, three core components bring the platform to life: the data platform, measurement platform, and accounting engine—all designed to generate IFRS 17 (CAS 25)-compliant statements and provide end-to-end task monitoring with traceability.

Cost-Effectiveness in Action 💰

This design doesn't just meet compliance requirements—it optimizes them for performance and cost efficiency. By combining Phytium processors with an openEuler-based infrastructure, insurers gain:

  • Optimized resource use: High computing efficiency reduces the need for oversized hardware deployments, keeping TCO low.
  • Streamlined operations: Leveraging the lakehouse and functional architecture, which centralizes data and automates processes, helps reduce manual operations and lower operational costs.
  • Future-proof design: The architecture scales seamlessly for new insurance products, regulatory changes, and massive datasets, avoiding costly system overhauls.

By integrating hardware and software tuned for high-performance workloads, insurers can meet compliance deadlines without draining their budgets. The result is a solution that delivers both compliance and commercial advantages.

Beyond Compliance: Long-Term Business Value 📈

While the platform is designed with IFRS 17 and CAS 25 in mind, its benefits extend far beyond year-end reporting. With robust data collection and analysis capabilities, insurers can strengthen:

  • Performance management
  • Risk analytics
  • Operational decision-making

In other words, what starts as a compliance necessity becomes an engine for ongoing business intelligence—while keeping costs manageable.

Looking Ahead 👀

As the insurance industry moves through 2025, cost-effective compliance is proving to be a decisive advantage. This platform shows that it's possible to meet demanding global standards, handle massive data, and keep budgets under control—all through a single, unified solution.

Up Next 🔜

The next case in our Driving Changes, the openEuler Way series will once again highlight the power of cost-effectiveness—this time focusing on a different application within the financial sector. Stay tuned to see how openEuler continues to help organizations do more, spend less, and scale smarter.
