AlphaLife provides thousands of PCs at 600 branch offices browser access

AlphaLife Insurance Company S.A., an Alpha Bank Group Companybased in Greece, is a new, rapidly growing insurance company specializing in savings and pension plans. AlphaLife promotes its products exclusively via the 600 branch office network of the Alpha Bank, one of the largest banks in Greece.

AlphaLife uses LINSYS (from SIS) as its core back-end solution to manage its term-life products, but needed a way to provide the Alpha Bank branch offices and HQ with browser access. With technical support from LANSA business partner Mercon, the solution was web enabled using LANSA’s aXes modernization product.

The Challenge

Alpha Life and the Alpha Bank wanted a back office insurance solution that could be accessed from the bank’s front office branch network to enter and maintain insurance proposals, issue policies and follow the life cycle of policies.

Robustness and ease of installation and maintenance were major criteria, as the solution had to be rolled out to a few thousand point of sales PCs at the bank’s 600 branch offices in Greece.

The Solution

Through an international competition of bids, AlphaLIfe selected the LINSYS system from SIS. LINSYS is a total solution for Life and Non-Life insurance companies.

SIS decided to work along with Mercon and, using aXes, together modernize and web-enable the LINSYS insurance solution. Mercon passed the necessary skills to SIS and provided the technical support for the project.

Using aXes, thousands of PCs at AlphaBank’s 600 branch offices and HQ now have browser access to Linsys back office functionality.

Benefits Achieved

The successful implementation provided AlphaLife and AlphaBank with:

  • Fast and accurate implementation of the LINSYS system.
  • Fast deployment to end users through aXes Web Server (zero client).
  • User friendly and fully parameterized environment.
  • Quick and reliable option to setup new business products.
