SINGAPORE, Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Oona Insurance (Oona) has chosen InsureMO, the foremost middleware platform specialising in insurance solutions, as its preferred partner to support it in driving digital transformation in the Southeast Asian (SEA) insurance sector. This collaboration will help Oona on its journey to build the leading digital insurance-as-a-service platform in SEA. For InsureMO, this strategic partnership offers an opportunity to collaborate with a digital-first and forward-thinking insurer, demonstrating its commitment to advancing the insurance industry’s transformation and showcasing the resilience, adaptability and customization of its platform.
By leveraging InsureMO’s platform, Oona will enhance digital consumer experiences to support its regional digital strategy, with a focus on agility, scalability, and tailored solutions for over 2 million customers across its current markets in Indonesia and the Philippines. Despite the challenges of integrating legacy systems from Oona’s acquisitions, InsureMO’s solutions will ensure a smooth and efficient transition with an accelerated time frame.
Oona intends to introduce new digital platforms for customers, employees, agents and other partners, with implementation already underway in the region. One of the immediate examples highlighting the speed and agility of this collaboration is the launch of a new general insurance product in Indonesia this month, the Oona Smart Flight Delay Insurance, accessible via chatbot and WhatsApp, a first for the Indonesia market and a global first use of ChatGPT for insurance sales.
The key benefits of the Oona and InsureMO partnership are:
1. Accelerated Implementation & Efficiency: InsureMO’s platform, deployed in under two months, provides Oona with a regional insurance infrastructure to incorporate best-of-breed applications for both front and back-office operations.
2. Digital Transition Expertise: Oona can smoothly progress in its digital era transition without disrupting its established operational backbone, while InsureMO actively participates in the digital transformation of the insurance industry in SEA through Oona.
3. Expedited Business Growth: Leveraging InsureMO’s capabilities, Oona is strategically planning for a strong digital presence regionally, particularly through the development of new products and services.
Abhishek Bhatia, Founder and Group CEO of Oona, stated, “Choosing InsureMO as our mid-office platform is a significant step in Oona’s digital transformation journey. Their capability to seamlessly create and connect diverse distribution channels gives us an edge, allowing us to accelerate our time to market for new and existing products. This partnership isn’t just about technology—it’s a partnership towards creating an insurance-as-a-service model for future-ready insurance carriers.”
“We are deeply honoured to work with the digital-first insurer Oona during its dynamic expansion phase. InsureMO’s platform is designed to empower Oona in modernising its core systems without necessitating replacements in the existing back office, paving the way for Oona’s rapid digital shift. This focus on creation and connection ensures that Oona’s transformation journey yields immediate and significant business results while allowing InsureMO to actively demonstrate the power of our solutions” expressed Woody MO, CEO of InsureMO.
