The challenges

Addressing the Management Differences Between the Three Entities

Each of GMF, MAAF, and MMA were using the same reinsurance software, but with different processes, various historical data, and typologies. This posed a significant challenge to unifying their systems.

Meeting Solvency II Regulations

The different units within the Covéa Group needed to prepare for Solvency II requirements, necessitating adjustments to the project plan.

The Solutions

A preliminary study was launched, and the platform was operationalized within the defined deadlines.
The internal and external teams collaborated to converge processes, with the project management team supervising every step and the IT teams implementing the technical architecture.
Covéa closely engaged with external teams, including Duck Creek for functional expertise and development capabilities, and consulting firm KPMG for project management coordination.

The Impacts

A Corporate Reinsurance Information System

Just one year after implementation, Covéa was already witnessing the benefits of group reinsurance management software. Streamlined systems facilitated the standardization of accounting practices and consolidation of reinsurance processes.

Compliance with Solvency II Regulation

The centralized corporate reinsurance system enabled Covéa to achieve the «fast close» objectives set by the Solvency II regulation, ensuring enhanced control of group reinsurance activities. Also, the automation of reinsurance operations lessened delays in closing periods, a requirement imposed by Solvency II.
