Learn how Aegon Insights achieved modern email security, productivity, and a streamlined user experience.
The Client
Aegon Insights, the Asia Pacific consulting arm of Aegon, a global leader in financial services, offers a comprehensive technology platform that streamlines insurance operations. This platform empowers insurance companies in the region by providing efficient policy administration, streamlined fulfilment management, accurate billing processes, and robust claims management.
The Business Need
Previously, our client relied on a legacy Exchange Server to fulfil their email communication and collaboration needs. However, this on-premises solution presented several challenges:
- High Maintenance Costs: Maintaining and updating the Exchange Server was resource intensive.
- Security Concerns: Outdated software and hardware exposed the client to potential security vulnerabilities.
- Limited Scalability: The existing system lacked the flexibility to adapt to the client’s growing needs and user base.
- Poor User Experience: Limited mobile/remote access hampered user productivity and satisfaction.
We helped our customer achieve a smooth and seamless migration from their legacy Exchange Server to Microsoft 365 and provided them with the best-in-class security and productivity solutions for their email system.
