AkademikerFörsäkring boosts its business with new insurance platform from Mantacore

AkademikerFörsäkring expect to cut twenty percent of current operational costs. Mantacore has signed an agreement with AkademikerFörsäkring concerning the licensing and implementation of FlexSure™, an advanced insurance IT-platform.

AkademikerFörsäkring provides personal and property insurance on behalf of seven unions associated with the Swedish Confederation of Professional Associations (Saco). For over ten years, AkademikerFörsäkring’s daily insurance administration has been relying on in-house developed systems. Today's insurance market is however undergoing such a rapid pace of change that the existing systems prevented further business development. Following a procurement round where several vendors were invited, AkademikerFörsäkring selected FlexSure as the best solution.

"In our view, FlexSure is in the absolute forefront solution in terms of functionality, flexibility and ability to meet the new regulatory frameworks that characterizes our industry," said Anders Gillstedt, Directorat AkademikerFörsäkring.

"We now expect significant operational gains,better overall control of our business and be able to reduce our manual labor efforts significantly by process automation. Furthermore, we will get the system we have longed for to better enable us to develop and launch of new exciting insurance products."
The policyholders will also experience significant improvements thanks to FlexSure´s web portal and its self-service support.

"In addition to a modern insurance platform with efficient operational support, AkademikerFörsäkring gets a set of sophisticated tools to drive targeted campaigns and interactive membership offers," said Finn Oskarsson, CEO of Mantacore.
