Howden Digital Quote and Bind Success Story

By Monica Crinu

The Customer

As a leading specialist insurance broker, Howden Insurance Brokers’ vision is to evolve their business and scale its client proposition, having invested heavily in attracting the best market talent and working with some of the best insurers in the world.

 

On investigation of its business capability, the organisation determined that in order to deliver value effectively they would first need to address their commercial operating model in order to meet their aspirational growth ambitions

The Journey

Softelligence, with their market experience, brought clarity to complexity and continue to help me deliver my vision: ensuring Howden drives change, rather than be driven by it.”
