PROFILE 

Our client is one of Canada's largest financial and casualty insurance companies with over $50 billion in assets under management. 

ISSUE 

Following a major acquisition, our client wanted to move from being a provincial leader to a major national player. This transformation needed to be accomplished while keeping operational costs low and positioning the customer service business at the forefront through digital channels. Prior to Levio's intervention, the client was struggling to implement and consolidate its digital transformation initiatives. 

APPROACH 

Levio needed to modernize existing IT systems with modern digital technologies, ensuring continuity of current operations. By approaching the problem from an employee and customer perspective, Levio was able to redesign business processes to ensure mass adoption and user satisfaction. Levio leveraged new digital capabilities to gain efficiencies across all business units. The objectives were clear: increase cross-selling of products, reduce churn, optimize rates, reduce claims, and increase overall operational efficiency while reducing/eliminating sources of customer frustration. 

  • Development and piloting of the program and governance structure to manage the 10-year, $450 million program portfolio 
  • Replacement of the existing registry systems with a state-of-the-art COTS solution from the EIS Group 
  • Implementation of multiple solutions to address all stages of transformation such as omni-channel services, business intelligence and analytics, cloud migration, etc.
