Milan - Generali Group and Accenture (NYSE: ACN) have created a joint venture - Group Operations Service Platform (GOSP) - that will leverage cloud technologies and shared technology platforms to accelerate the insurance group's innovation and digital strategy.
In addition to holding a 5% ownership stake in the venture, Accenture will provide GOSP with a team of 40 professionals with expertise in cloud, artificial intelligence and big data to drive rapid transformation, innovation and change management at speed and scale.
GOSP will develop projects and solutions that accelerate the digitization of Generali Group's business processes and the adoption of a cloud-centric model. This can facilitate closer collaboration among the insurer's different business units, including distribution (agencies), account management (digital wallets), and internal management systems, which can benefit from the shared infrastructure and expertise.
The new solutions from GOSP – including establishing more centralized governance – will enable Generali Group to improve operational efficiencies and profitability, achieve cost savings, and enhance service quality to meet the digital expectations of customers, agents and employees. w w w
