Based in Drummondville, Quebec, UL Mutual is a well-established insurance company in Canada. "It's not every day that you replace an office system, so we're choosing proven solutions," says Jean-Mathieu Sigouin, Senior Vice President, Information Technologies at UL Mutual.

A modern system for increased efficiency
By upgrading its back-office system, UL Mutual intends to optimize all the steps related to administrating its products, including individual life insurance and critical illness insurance.

Equisoft is acting as the reseller and integrator of the OIPA system for the UL Mutual project. It is also overseeing every aspect of data migration through its subsidiary Universal Conversion Technologies, which has managed over 175 migration projects in the insurance industry to date.
Undeniable benefits to help carriers stand out

"For UL Mutual, continuously improving its offering and fostering innovation in terms of distributor and customer experience is a must," says Olivier Lafontaine, Vice President, Insurance at Equisoft.
