The main objectives of the Comarch solution implementation project at Swiss Life focused on increasing the insurer’s business competitiveness and profitable growth, as well as reducing operational and noncompliance risks.

Swiss Life needed a comprehensive solution that would cover all life and pension insurance processes end-toend, including new business processes, contract and claim management, as well as management of their clients and insureds. The key advantage of our solution is definitely a self-service online portal for all group life insurance participants who can manage their coverage and investments without the need of contacting the insurer’s customer center.

We were in need of an innovative solution that would make us closer to our clients. We wanted to enhance our relationship with them and make our services more client-oriented. The Comarch system offered the open architecture, wide business process management abilities, advanced business intelligence and a rich integration scope, including among others, banking systems, transfer agents, or general ledgers.
That would allow us to handle all business processes in one solution.

PROJECT RESULTS / BENEFITS

Owing to the implementation of the Comarch solution all Swiss Life insurance processes are fully covered. The full range of insurance products are supported and all contracts managed in one system. Besides, the user experience and customer service have been significantly enhanced thanks to the self-service portal.

Apart from the core functionality of the Comarch Life Insurance system, we also implemented an integrated document management module, numerous external interfaces and Comarch Insurance Client Essentials – portal dedicated to policyholders’ HR departments and contract managers as well as individual insureds.

We are satisfied with the results of the project as our clients can easily manage all insurance and pension contracts, while their employees stay up-to-date and manage their policies and investments on their own. Moreover, Swiss Life has better control and overview of our pension business and more opportunities to grow it.

PROJECT CHALLENGES

The project was multilayer and multistage as Swiss Life required both new functional and technical architecture to ensure optimal business process management for the future. Moreover, the desired solution was to smoothly operate in several countries and numerous languages, meeting multinational needs and regulations. Thus, the project was divided into several phases each concluded with go-live releases.

Good cooperation made us complete this large project successfully. The challenge was mostly related to the extensive data migration and integration of the Comarch solution with our external systems.

We had to face some real challenges related to the robust area of the implementation. This large enterprise required strong and extended project teams with specialists from various fields and business units leaning on strong management support.
