SHANGHAI, April 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ --
eBaoTech( http://www.ebaotech.com ) and Sequislife( http://www.sequislife.com ) celebrated the successful Phase-2 launch of Sequislife＊s new life insurance system based on the eBaoTech LifeSystem Suite( http://www.ebaotech.com/products-and-services/life-insurance-solutions/ebaotech-lifesystem-suite ) at Sequis Center, Jakarta on April 4. The new system, named the Intelligent Sequis Business Enterprise System (i-qUBE), is now running Sequislife's traditional and unit linked lines of business.
"A journey to become one of the best Insurance companies has to be done through many changes in all aspects. Amongst them is the improvement of our operational system which we are now celebrating together with eBaoTech and all Sequislife's employees, with the successful completion of i-qUBE. eBaoTech is an international company with the strong industry credibility and vast expertise to meet our needs. We have invested as much as USD 2.5 million in this new system," said Tatang Widjaja, President Director of PT AJ Sequis Life.
The launch of this new system was done in two stages. Phase 1 was focused on unit linked products. In Phase 2, eBaoTech collaborated with Sequislife's Actuary Department to create the reinsurance module, to enhance the existing claim module, and to add Sequislife's traditional products on the platform. The launch of Phase 2 was completed just 6 months after the go-live of Phase 1.
Mr. Yeoh Ah Thoo, Sequislife Chief Technical Advisor, noted, "With the completion of Phase 2, Sequislife now has a comprehensive web-based system which is integrated in one platform. The efficiency of the system provides process standardization among all related departments, such as: Accounting, Agency Portal, Call Center and our Agency Compensation Department. It also reduces our manual efforts and paperwork, and we are hope that i-qUBE will be our first step towards paperless processing. We will continue to enhance this system from time to time to meet changing market needs."
Notable accomplishments of this Phase 2 launch include:
-- A smooth 6 month implementation, meeting all
planned milestones
-- Successful migration of Sequislife＊s traditional
business lines to the new system
-- Process automation of formerly manual processes to
reduce paperwork and improve sales efficiency
-- More efficient and standardized processes for both
traditional and unit linked businesses using LifeSystem＊s
built-in business process management tools
"i-qUBE gives Sequislife the ability to run their traditional and unit linked businesses on one platform, while providing the tools to get new products to market much faster than before," said Woody Mo, President and CEO of eBaoTech. Mr. Mo added, "We are proud of the successful go-live of Phase 2 in only 6 months, which demonstrates the effectiveness of eBaoTech＊s implementation methodology and the strong collaboration between Sequislife and eBaoTech implementation teams."
