[TORONTO] IBM announced on July 23 that Economical Insurance, one of Canada's leading property and casualty insurance companies, has adopted IBM Cloud to assist in streamlining its business processes, creating new efficiencies and accelerating the delivery of new digital experiences for brokers and customers.

According to the PRNewswire, Economical Insurance is leveraging IBM Cloud and working with IBM Services for aspects of VyneTM, its newly launched broker offering, and its digital direct business Sonnet. They are building a hybrid cloud environment that will accelerate speed to market and allow the business to scale quickly in order to meet rapidly changing customer preferences. Vyne taps into IBM Cloud to help offer an unparalleled experience for brokers that includes updated products, streamlined workflow, and a sophisticated data-driven pricing model.

"We have an ambitious strategy to put the customer first while driving profitable growth and delivering innovation for Economical and our broker partners," said Kelley Irwin, SVP and Chief Information Officer, Economical Insurance. "We are also focused on ensuring we have a scalable, secure platform. A hybrid cloud environment is the best way to support our business with the speed and flexibility needed for our future success. The IBM Cloud helps us reduce development time, increase agility, and maintain security." 

Economical Insurance selected IBM because it offers choice and flexibility to help the company securely bridge their data to the cloud. IBM is working with Economical to continue the transition to a hybrid cloud model combining public, private and on-premises environments.

The new cloud environment will provide them with the opportunity to develop innovative insurance offerings through a secure, scalable platform that has the potential to connect to higher value services like AI, blockchain, IoT and more.
