WAEPA Insurance

Cloud Case Study

Insurance company invests boldly in transformation

Building trust with customer centric-capabilities and cloud-enabled insights

The need to effectively and meaningfully connect with customers through digital channels has never been greater. Insurance customers today expect “one-click,” transactional capabilities just like the ones they enjoy elsewhere in their everyday digital lives. They want to be able to access quotes, product details, personal information and account services any time, anywhere and on any device. At the same time, businesses increasingly require solutions that can help them stay ahead of customers’ growing expectations and demands, allowing them to more effectively leverage their data for rapid insights and improved service.

At Worldwide Assurance for Employees of Public Agencies (WAEPA), a 78-year-old non-profit provider of life insurance for federal civilian employees and their families, the need for change has accelerated as industry and customer expectations have changed. To increase membership, prepare for expansion opportunities, better serve existing members and improve business operations, WAEPA needed to invest boldly in transformation, with responsive cloud technology as a central component.
