The project at a glance
As part of its strategic plan, Alptis' management approved several strategic directions with a direct impact on its management offering. One of them involves replacing the existing back-office information system, which is based on specific in-house developments, with a software solution to manage individual and collective healthcare and death and disability insurance contracts, as well as borrower's insurance contracts.
Alptis chose Hardis Group to organize, manage and conduct the study phase to help select a solution for managing these contracts for the next 15 years.
"Hardis Group put together a talented team of people with excellent complementary skills in its Insurance and Financial Services BU. We invited Hardis to bid against some major consulting companies. During the selection process and throughout the study phase, we were impressed with the team's in-depth expertise, its methodical approach and real focus on our requirements. Hardis Group's Insurance & Financial Services BU is able to address the strategic challenges presented by upgrading our management information system. This initial fruitful collaboration has led to a long-term partnership with Hardis Group, who will now help us to implement the chosen software solution.” - Jean-Christophe Mercier, Alptis information systems manager
