COST REDUCTION:

By refining the system with Atlassian's best practices, the company achieved a remarkable 40% cost reduction. This was a clear and tangible benefit that management could immediately recognize, making the transition to a more efficient system an easy decision.

Client Overview

Established on January 18, 1986, Tawuniya (The Company for Cooperative Insurance) stands as Saudi Arabia’s first national insurance company, licensed to operate under the cooperative insurance principle aligned with Islamic Sharia.

As a Saudi Joint Stock Company, Tawuniya is a trailblazer in the Kingdom’s insurance sector, regulated and supervised by the Saudi Insurance Authority. With over 37 years of expertise, Tawuniya has built a reputation for delivering comprehensive insurance solutions tailored to diverse customer needs.

The company offers an extensive portfolio of over 60 insurance products, including medical, motor, fire, property, engineering, marine, aviation, Takaful, and liability insurance. This diverse range of offerings has positioned Tawuniya as the go-to choice for individuals and businesses across Saudi Arabia, solidifying its leadership in the insurance industry.

Challenges

Tawuniya sought to elevate its ITSM framework and ITIL 4.0 practices with the best industry standards. Despite notable progress, they faced challenges in achieving process standardization, enhancing operational efficiency, and delivering superior customer service. Key pain points included:

Lack of Uniform Processes:

As Tawuniya expanded into multiple business domains, their team & organization grew alongside. They aimed to enhance their operations, ensuring the delivery of exceptional and time-efficient services.

Service Excellence Goals:

As a leading insurance service provider, Tawuniya wanted to enhance customer service quality and operational efficiency to stay ahead in a competitive market.

Gap in Practice Maturity:

While 24 out of 33 ITIL 4.0 best practices were implemented, there was a need to assess and elevate the maturity of their existing processes to meet organizational goals.

Process Optimization Challenges:

The absence of a structured approach to documenting and refining practices created bottlenecks in achieving seamless ITSM operations.

These challenges underscored the need for a robust, scalable ITSM solution to bridge the gaps, streamline operations & ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery.

Results Powered by Holograph

Holograph's implementation brought significant, measurable benefits to the organization, addressing key objectives in cost reduction, security enhancement, and system maintainability.

Enhanced Security:

Security was a top priority, especially for an insurance company handling sensitive personal & health data. Holograph's solution addressed critical security vulnerabilities identified in the existing system, particularly with the use of outdated server & cloud editions. By adopting a more secure system, the company significantly mitigated potential threats & ensured compliance with industry security standards.

Improved Data Hosting Compliance:

The company faced challenges with hosting data outside of Saudi Arabia, which conflicted with local government policies. Holograph’s solution ensured that all data hosting was fully compliant with Saudi Arabian regulations, safeguarding both the company and its clients.

Streamlined Maintainability:

With the consolidation of multiple systems into a unified platform, the company reduced its IT maintenance costs. By reducing the number of servers and administrators, Holograph helped optimize resource utilization, cutting down on operational costs & simplifying system management.
