Overview: Our client is one of the top global insurance companies and the market leader for general insurance, life and pensions. They have major businesses across Continental Europe, North America, and Asia.

Challenges: With a strategic focus on Asia, the insurer entered the general insurance market starting with direct online car insurance. Their objective was to gradually increase their product portfolio to include home and travel insurance as well.

Employing a direct B2C online sales model for general insurance required an aggressive go-to-market timeline. The key challenges were:

• Build an online platform quickly to enable product launches
• Re-engineer the system for robustness while integrating with backend systems
• Offer a world-class, consistent user experience to drive repeat visits

Sciente Value/Services: Sciente partnered with the insurer, complementing their capabilities to build a comprehensive solution meeting all objectives.

Sciente’s partnership enabled this insurer’s aggressive Asian market entry by providing focused implementation resources aligned to their digital expansion strategy.

Overview: As part of a strategic decision, our client aimed to consolidate their regional data centers and migrate operations to a new country location.

Challenges: This complex initiative involved two major challenges:

1. The large-scale data center consolidation itself
2. Relocating the consolidated data center across countries

Effective overall program management was crucial to minimize downtime while ensuring:

• Seamless operational processes
• Adherence to regulatory guidelines
• Optimized project plans and schedules

We then provided program/project management oversight and services, including:

• Management of outsourced work packages

Sciente also jointly reviewed and enhanced operational processes to improve efficiency in the new consolidated data center.
