Insurance giant Towergate announces its plans to further extend its investment in Landscape, RDT’s flagship packaged insurance application, to support its growth goals.
Towergate implemented Landscape as its strategic underwriting platform of choice, across its household portfolio, including high-net-worth, in 2008.
Towergate consequently enjoys improved speed to market and low cost of entry with no reliance on external parties for changes to rates and product rules. The flexible architecture of Landscape enables re-use of application components via web services and integrated support is provided for additional channels of business such as, Web, EDI and Bordereaux.
On the back of this success Towergate has extended the footprint of Landscape into its Let properties business line and now plans to roll the platform out across further business portfolios.
Landscape brings increased business efficiency and flexibility of operational processes to Towergate. Streamlining the IT infrastructure across personal lines with Landscape will support the company growing market share with the ability to harness further competitive advantage.
Mike Newman, Chief Information Officer, Towergate comments: “We chose RDT’s Landscape solution because we were impressed by the flexible nature of the system. We have replaced four existing underwriting platforms in two of our underwriting businesses with Landscape, reducing our operational support costs significantly going forward. The entire implementation, which might have been daunting, was seamless. At the same time, Landscape gives us a scalable architecture, whilst its intuitive interface means minimal training is required for new starters. The combination of all of these factors make a compelling business case for the extended adoption of the system which will help to power Towergate towards its business growth goals.”
RDT Chief Executive Mark Bates said: “We understand the risk downtime represents to insurers and the related concerns when considering implementing new technology and applications. We are proud to have a reputation for delivering seamless integration on time, every time, with no perceived disruption to business operations internally or externally. We are delighted to be extending our relationship with Towergate and look forward to continuing to support the business in its strategic growth goals.”
