Keylane Continues Growth

Today insurance and pension companies are more and more aware that they need smart technology as a backbone to support successful day-to-day operations. They clearly see the benefits of for example integrated front, mid and back office support, straight through processing and easy omni-channel distribution. As a result, Keylane is pleased to welcome many new customers and to be involved in various large modernisation projects.

Non-life Insurance

Digitisation and customer self-service are important themes in the non-life insurance market. They are key to the new large modernisation projects Keylane is working on in the Netherlands and Belgium. In addition, we are introducing telematics for a Dutch customer and launching new commercial products in Belgium and Germany for a European insurer.

Life Insurance

In the life insurance market we are busy with a large closed books migration project in the Netherlands. We also run a challenging new business implementation in the UK. We experience lots of opportunities in life insurance migrations in the UK and the Keylane solution proves to be a competitive solution.

Pension

Recently we successfully implemented the Keylane pension solution for a Dutch pension fund and started a second phase to implement a member portal. For another Dutch customer we are making good progress in a challenging project to support a new form of pension fund (APF, Dutch abbreviation).

Software as a Service

In replacing legacy systems business are beginning to turn to Software as a Service (SaaS). We noticed that this trend has strongly developed into the insurance and pension market, as hundred percent of the deals we closed in 2015 are SaaS deals.
