Embedding innovations into existing environments

“Stretched IT organisations & budgets won’t have the capacity to look at radical departures from their existing environments. That means that tech vendor sales organisations selling to insurers should position innovations that can be produced in the existing environment in the near-term, while stressing frameworks & best practices that provide a road map for the future. UK based SSP offers its insurance clients an evolutionary path that starts with a new user interface to present the data from existing core applications in a new way to online & mobile solutions to better link the value chain in the intermediated insurance market.“

Progressive

“In Australia personal lines products, & particularly car insurance, are primarily sold direct through call centers. Our research suggests there is a market for an online only product. We wanted a cost-effective, best-of-breed package that would deliver straight-through processing” said Tom King, head of international operations at Progressive. “SSP & S4i enabled us to get our Australia program off the ground quickly & within budget.”

Commenting on the implementation, King said, “S4i has lived up to its reputation. Its flexibility & core capabilities were a key factor in ensuring we completed this project on time & on budget. The combination of SSP’s experience in transacting car insurance & their knowledge of the Australian insurance market increased our speed to market.”
