Client: Alera Group is United States 7th largest privately held employee benefits firm that provides services for financial planning, retirement planning, investment advice, personal insurance, estate planning and brokerage services. Alera Group has demonstrable expertise in multiple domain sectors including healthcare technology, veterinary, municipals and private equity.
Challenge: Alera Group’s Coverage GPS program provides a unique one-page snapshot to easily identify the in-force insurance coverage, gaps and areas that require improvement. This analysis is a critical step toward reducing costs and improving coverage. However, creating these Coverage GPS placemats is based on challenging manual, time consuming processes such as non-standardization of charts using complex, high resolution graphic tools and hand-drawn graphics.
Alera Group identified an opportunity to partner with an experienced team that could understand their business drivers and end user needs to develop an improved platform. Being a custom software development company provider, innovation and reliability are paramount to Strategic Systems International. Our partnership with Alera Group helped the client reach its primary goals related to Coverage GPS.
