Unifying Business and Technology to Transform Placement and Policy Servicing

placeholder

Hear how Andreas Wetterwald and Kathleen Kreuzer from Marsh Americas used no-code to build a digital workspace where Marsh’s brokers—and their insurers—can quickly and accurately perform key services.

During the inaugural Unqork Create conference, Unqork’s Head of Life Insurance & Retirement, Chandresh “CK” Kothari held a virtual session with Marsh’s Andreas Wetterwald (Global Marsh Deputy Chief Information Officer/CIO Marsh Americas) and Kathleen Kreuzer (Chief Business Officer for Global Operations) to discuss the two companies’ ongoing partnership.

One of the great benefits of Unqork’s enterprise no-code application platform is the flexibility it provides, which empowers companies to address changes of any kind rapidly. “Unqork or no-code is a really great tool to have,” explained Andreas, “solutions like SAP or Salesforce [are] where you can do configuration within a box with pre-determined solutions and processes. I see Unqork or no-code solutions as offering configuration without any box.

Another important thing Unqork brings to any relationship is that both the company and the platform are informed by decades of collective industry experience. As a result, enterprises know they can trust the platform to understand—and help them overcome—their most pressing concerns from the get-go. 

“Unqork has differentiated itself from other vendors we’ve worked with. You guys truly listened. From the start, it felt different. We were able to discuss problem statements or pain points, and you got it right away. I remember the early days of us talking about how we could to improve our quote-comparison capability and within days, we had a working POC. That was impressive.”

The platform’s flexibility has allowed Marsh to deliver benefits to all stakeholders in the organization while being customizable enough to address the company’s unique business needs. “This platform lends itself to what our brokers want,” explained Kathleen. “And what we need and ability to scale and an ability to handle complexity, but still allow for a very flexible user-based experience. What I think sets this platform apart from other platforms we’ve looked at is that they are very rigid and workflow-based. But our process is not linear, and you’ve been able to accommodate to our scale and complexity, but still have flexibility, which is key.”

Part of the great promise of Unqork is how it empowers companies to rapidly address disruptions of any scale through transformation. There have been few disruptions more impactful than the pandemic, but Marsh has been able to withstand these disruptions using Unqork. 

“This pandemic has impacted like all of us, the way we’ve worked, right?,” commented Kathleen. “Our industry tends to be very people-oriented—lots of meetings with trips to see clients and trips to markets—to really kind of negotiate the deal in person. And we’ve now gone through an entire year-plus of renewals being done remotely. It’s really amplified the need for us to have digital tools. Our colleagues need more capability to interact with our clients in a digital way. I think that’s why Unqork is in demand across the globe right now.”
