Instanda: Embracing digital transformation for better decision making

Instanda provides a digital insurance solution that enables carriers and MGAs to create, build, and implement complex insurance products in short timeframes.

With over 200 users based in the City of London, and underpinned by sophisticated underwriting and distribution capabilities, Instanda gives insurance teams the ability to innovate at scale and deliver solutions to markets at lightning speed.

Instanda required a robust Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) solution in order to standardise operations and improve project delivery, visibility, and client engagement.

Ignite Technology, engaged in detailed discussions with Instanda’s PMO team to align project goals, expectations, and strategies across the wider business.

Planview AdaptiveWork was selected as the solution to meet these challenges, with the project scope further expanding to incorporate additional capacity and providing Premium Support to enhance overall performance and efficiency.

• Legacy Platforms: Legacy PPM solutions were approaching end-of-life and were no longer fit for purpose.

• Company-Wide Visibility: Existing solution offered limited visibility for C-Suite over internal and client projects.

• Facilitating Hybrid Methodologies: Legacy solution was unable to fully support a hybrid working methodology for both waterfall and agile working.

• Key Integrations: Required a seamless integration for key business solutions.

Ignite Technology leveraged its partnership with Planview and expertise across Project Portfolio Management to select Planview AdaptiveWork as the solution to meet these challenges.
