Adapting technology to drive an automation program
Rising unit costs, increasing process volumes and inefficiencies, data quality issues and a prevalence of manual processes inhibited operations at a global life and retirement insurance company. EY teams were hired as part of a larger transformation initiative to address these issues and streamline manual processes. They were engaged to help establish an automation program to help reduce overall expenses and modernize the operating model through technology.
The overall program included an automation proof of concept and business case, client infrastructure design and setup, identification of automation candidates and configuration, as well as Center of Excellence stand-up and operating model design.
