Zurich Insurance Group streamlines insurance operations with rapid app modernization
Zurich Insurance Group undertook a major digital transformation to replace legacy applications and streamline operations. Using the Mendix low-code platform in combination with Microsoft Azure and integration services, Zurich rebuilt its critical Terrorism Data Capture (TDC) legacy application in just 12 weeks. The new solution improved workflows for more than 700 underwriters and provided increased reporting accuracy and faster processing. Additionally, Zurich launched the "My Plans Portal," empowering 1.5 million customers to access their pension and investment information online, reducing reliance on time-consuming telephone servicing. This initiative is part of Zurich's ongoing replacement of over 1,400 legacy Lotus Notes applications, aiming to eliminate shadow IT and improve efficiency. The approach underpins Zurich's strategy to modernize insurance operations, rapidly develop new applications, and improve both employee and customer experiences by leveraging low-code, cloud, and integration technologies. The implementation demonstrates how a traditional insurer can accelerate digital transformation by partnering with technology providers, optimizing costs, and future-proofing business processes.
