Concentrix Extends Relationship with Sagicor Financial Corporation  
  
Carrier uses GIAS for new business in the Caribbean 

"We have been using GIAS successfully for some time in our U.S. operations, but this is the first time we took advantage of the platform to run our business outside of the U.S., specifically in Barbados, Trinidad, and across the Eastern Caribbean countries," said Ron Blitstein, Executive Vice President and Group Chief Information Officer at SFC. "What's especially impressive is the way we can bring new products on stream faster." 

"Sagicor can now introduce new products faster across a landscape of various currencies and country-specific regulations," Blitstein continued. "With GIAS, we are able to offer new insurance products to our customers across the Caribbean region in a matter of weeks, not months, as it was with the legacy system." Blitstein added, "The go-live date and the dates thereafter were a 'non-event,' during which we did not experience any service interruptions." 

For Sagicor, which does business across the Caribbean, Latin America, and the United States, GIAS enables the company to consolidate  life insurance products onto a single platform with common business processes, security, client information, accounting and commission capabilities. Beyond these common controls, GIAS helps the company account for insurance regulations, currency systems, taxes and other factors that are unique to each country.  

"Through GIAS, we have an upgrade path and the partnership and responsiveness of Concentrix made the transition to a new system easy," said Teri Townsend, Sagicor Vice President of Technology. "We attribute the implementation success to the Sagicor and Concentrix project teams' working relationship. A significant outcome for Sagicor is that GIAS enabled us to streamline and modernize the business.

"For Sagicor," she added, "speed to market is essential. We expect to develop and introduce at least twice as many new products in a year compared to what we could introduce prior to GIAS."  

"The GIAS implementation for Sagicor reflects our mission to enable our client's growth and business outcomes through the powerful and functionally-rich business solutions and services we provide," said Robert Marino, Concentrix Insurance Solutions sales leader. "Our goal is to assist clients to act on growth initiatives and customer experience enhancements to reach the desired business outcomes by transforming the business."
