Replacing Legacy Systems With Future-Proof Technology For A Leading TPA

Context: A leading third-party administrator (TPA) based in the MENA region, operating across multiple countries, needed to replace a legacy insurance system that was limiting operational efficiency, scalability, and performance.

Challenge: The existing system could no longer support the organization’s growth, regulatory requirements, or operational complexity, creating constraints across policy administration, claims processing, and customer engagement.

Solution: Designed and implemented a comprehensive insurance technology platform, encompassing a new core system, dedicated portals, and supporting operational services.

Impact: Enabled a 2× increase in active covered lives within five years, reduced member utilization tracking time, and delivered up to 40% operational cost reductions in specific areas.
