Challenge
Our client is an insurance service offering company based in UAE. Their primary aim is to offer secure and reliable insurance services to all types of cargo, fire, hull, life and medical companies within their region. The client was searching for a web-based solution provider who would efficiently manage their accounts as well as an inward and outward business offerings.
The clients’ company dealt with multiple stakeholders such as insurance companies / brokers / reinsurance companies. The basic division of clients business can be categorized into
- Inward Business
- Outward Business
The client wanted to develop a web-based application that complements the existing system developed years ago using conventional technology like VB language. Unlike in insurance, individuals and companies are not insured in reinsurance but the insurance companies themselves are insured. The major reason behind the reinsurance is to limit the total loss which the original insurer has to bear if he does not get the reinsurance. Reinsurance is a complex and risky business which requires various complex calculations that need to be converted along with relevant business logic. The client wanted to build a user-friendly application with inbuilt calculations and distinct features such as multi-tenant features, high security and high performance to manage legacy & future data.
The client expected to implement the system in such a way that it can work with big data, analyze the data, and generate various reports and calculations on premium and claim amounts based on various parameters. It should provide a facility to calculate various amounts at live currency rates by integrating third party currency rates providers.
