NRMA Insurance NZ Ltd.
The project comprises the development and system design, and then the integration of a package underwriting system built with Microsoft products. Capgemini will be managing the implementation team of over 50 resources, including the management of the software developers, and the AD&I group will be handling many of the technical aspects of the project.
NRMA NZ is a Wellington based insurance company, owned by the Australian company Insurance Australia Group (formerly NRMA). It is the largest general insurer in New Zealand with around 21% market share of the NZ Personal Insurance market, and a growing Commercial portfolio. Total revenues exceed NZ$ 450m and the company employs over 1,100 staff across 3 call centres and 31 sales offices in New Zealand.
Issue
The systems Integration project will replace NRMA NZ’s two legacy core insurance systems with a package specifically designed by a UK software company for composite general insurance companies. The current systems are constraining NRMA NZ’s ability to compete in the NZ marketplace in a number of key ways.
Solution
The project has started in January 2002 and comprises the development and system design, and then the integration of a package underwriting system (built with Microsoft products). Capgemini will be managing the implementation team of over 50 resources, including the management of the software developers, and the AD&I group will be handling many of the technical aspects of the project eg Interface build. It is anticipated that Capgemini will also assume the Application Management services for the insurance application after go-live in May 2003.
