CPP ANNOUNCES NEW I.T. SYSTEM TO SUPPORT TRANSFORMATION
STRATEGY
CPPGroup Plc (CPP or the Group), the International Assistance
business, has selected SSP Limited (SSP), the leading provider of
general insurance technology solutions, to provide a new single
platform IT system across the international countries that it
operates in. The new system will provide the core IT platform to
support the Group's increasing focus on digital technology whilst
improving the operational efficiency of the business.
The SSP solution will initially be implemented in the UK, with a
second phase of international deployment to follow. When fully
embedded, the system will simplify and standardise processes across
the business; provide compliant, robust governance controls and
secure customer data storage; and support the development of a
digital product portfolio.
Charles Crawford, Chief Operating Officer at CPP, said: "The new
IT system will provide a strong foundation on which we will build a
digital-led future for CPP. Across the Group internationally, this
will enable us to improve our service to customers and Business
Partners in addition to making us more agile and efficient. By
adopting a proven platform chosen by leading digital insurers, CPP
will have a stronger competitive position in an increasingly
digital world."
Stephen Lathrope, Managing Director of Insurer Division at SSP
said: "CPP undertook a robust and extensive search over a 12 month
period to find the right partner and solution for their needs. We
are delighted that CPP has chosen to work with SSP and put us at
the heart of the business as it develops for the future."
