BOSTON, April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- John Hancock today announced the launch of a four-year project to implement a single, integrated platform to provide its life and annuity customers with a holistic and digital experience as part of its broader ambitions to digitize operations. The company has selected Infosys, a global leader in consulting, technology and next-generation services, to accomplish this.
"As we transform John Hancock into a digital, customer-centric leader – with offerings ranging from John Hancock Vitality to the financial advice app Twine – it is critically important that our IT infrastructure supporting in-force customers also delivers an exceptional experience," said Brooks Tingle, President and Chief Executive Officer of John Hancock Insurance. "We are delighted to be partnering with Infosys to achieve our goals."
Upon completion, several legacy systems will be consolidated and John Hancock will be able to provide customers with a more digitally enabled experience across insurance products. John Hancock will retain direct responsibility for all customer interactions, including through its contact center.
"Consolidating multiple legacy systems into a single, integrated platform will reduce the cost of supporting closed in-force blocks of business and increase opportunities to leverage advanced analytics to reengineer the customer experience," said Naveed Irshad, Head of North American Legacy business. "This partnership will help us modernize, increase flexibility, and move faster in our global ambitions."
"Infosys is delighted to partner with John Hancock in advancing their digital journey," said Richard E Magner, Chief Executive Officer & MD, Infosys McCamish Systems LLC. "The Infosys McCamish integrated digital life insurance platform suite will energize John Hancock's core and help achieve their goals of amplifying customer experience."
