Business Problem

The New Business and Underwriting teams at Cigna NZ sought a solution to automate and improve their core business processes, many of which were manual, time-consuming, and involved numerous hand-offs of large volumes of paper files. Customer and policy documentation was stored in disparate formats and locations, meaning documents and records were not managed optimally. Processes were split across multiple software applications, providing no end-to-end visibility for processing teams.

Appian Solution

Appian provided the company with a single platform for automating and managing their core business processes and all associated content. The platform accelerated and improved interactions between people and with systems, increasing efficiency while reducing overhead costs, improving the company’s ability to service customers, and creating a more agile and robust architecture enabling a strategy of continuous process improvement. Appian’s integration of BPM, data management, rules, content management, collaboration, and analytics/reporting combine to address the human-intensive, document-driven nature of CIGNA’s business, while also delivering the real-time visibility and data required to make better, faster business decisions.
