ACHIEVED COST SAVING OF USD 10.1 THROUGH WORLD-CLASS INTEGRATED CRM SYSTEM

THE CLIENT

 

A large US-based global insurance company, with operations in 130 countries and serving approximately 90 million people

THE CHALLENGE / REQUIREMENT

Dealing with multiple broker firms is a norm in the insurance industry. However, the client’s fragmented CRM systems built on legacy technologies made it extremely difficult for them to improve relations with their customers who complained about the disjointedness and significant delays to adapt to changing business needs.

The client clearly required a complete CRM overhaul - a long-term and scalable solution to equip its advisory force with enhanced CRM capabilities.

THE SOLUTION

 

Mphasis created a 'one-stop-shop' experience for all CRM-related advisor activities, to provide mobility and flexibility. We followed agile as well as waterfall methodologies and leveraged Salesforce.com as the consolidated platform to serve client’s objectives. We helped the client with -

  • Consolidating CRM system to bring together all sales-related data across various channels. This helped the client to improve their sales and services processes and get more out of their existing client relationships
  • Developing various reusable components and error-capturing processes throughout the engagement, to ensure fast and smooth implementation of the CRM. We also used various Salesforce.com best practices and health-check measures
  • Building a comprehensive data migration framework to simplify data synchronization complexities, leading to improved system performance

Continuous iterations kept an efficient check on changing business needs, and product improvements were implemented accordingly. The project was a self-directed effort to transform the way advisors interacted with their customers, translating into more meaningful and long‐lasting relationships

THE OUTCOME / BENEFITS

Our solution enabled our client to empower their sales teams with easy-to-use and well-integrated CRM tool. Providing relevant, timely, complete, and actionable information, the CRM tool proved to be a ‘one-stop-shop' experience for the users. It also helped the client save millions of dollars and enable its advisor group with customer information delivered on the go. The platform was scalable enough to accommodate 6000 and more concurrent users, without compromising the performance of the system.
