DXC Technology Enhances If's Technology Infrastructure Across the Nordics with DXC OASIS

DXC Technology Introduces Changes for If Skadeförsäkring in the Nordics

DXC Technology, recognized as a leading partner in tech innovation, has announced an exciting collaboration with If Skadeförsäkring AB, the largest property and casualty insurer in the Nordic regions. This partnership comes on the heels of If's recent acquisition of Topdanmark, a significant Danish insurance company.

Addressing Technological Complexity

In today’s fast-paced business environment, the merging of companies often results in increased complexity within technological frameworks. As different systems from various acquisitions are integrated, businesses like If face challenges due to fragmented, overlapping systems that lead to operational silos. These complications can significantly slow down integration efforts, inflate costs, and inhibit visibility across critical systems, ultimately impacting operational agility and customer experience.

In this context, If recognized the need for a technological partner capable of simplifying and unifying its infrastructure, and thus chose DXC Technology, leveraging its proprietary solution, DXC OASIS.

A Unified Technological Foundation

The DXC OASIS solution is set to provide If with a coherent orchestration layer for its operations in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and the Baltic countries. This strategic multiyear partnership enables DXC to oversee and modernize If's extensive computing resources across various environments, including mainframes, data centers, and Microsoft Azure's hybrid cloud services. The initiative is pivotal in fortifying the technological backbone of If’s daily insurance operations while enhancing governance, security, and transparency.

Hanna Elomaa, the Chief Information Officer of If Skadeförsäkring AB, shared, “As part of our strategy, we are building a stronger, more secure, and scalable technological foundation in the Nordic and Baltic regions. Our partnership with DXC Technology enables us to streamline and modernize our infrastructure, consolidate our IT environment, and utilize automation and AI to enhance quality and efficiency. Together, we are creating a more resilient platform for the future, allowing us to deliver stable, secure services and excellent experiences for our business and clients.”

Beyond just simplification and modernization, this collaboration will facilitate the smooth integration of Topdanmark into If's operations by unifying its technological framework, thereby reducing operational complexity and enhancing resilience and efficiency.

The Role of DXC OASIS

DXC OASIS is designed to provide If with a unified orchestration layer to boost visibility, coordination, and governance of its technological infrastructure. By integrating infrastructure operations from multiple suppliers and environments, DXC OASIS will streamline operations, automate workflows, and improve reliability throughout the organization. The AI capabilities of this platform will support a new operational model for If’s IT operations, facilitating proactive monitoring and optimization. This initiative is expected to alleviate manual workload from IT teams, enhancing both the performance and resilience of critical systems, as well as the overall customer experience.

Peter Skarendal, Managing Director of DXC Sweden, emphasized, “If is unifying its operations across multiple markets and environments, which requires a solid, unified, and scalable technological foundation. With DXC OASIS, we help If simplify and orchestrate its disparate mainframe, data center, and cloud environments into a single integrated operation, enhancing visibility, reducing operational complexity, and optimizing performance organization-wide. This creates a more agile base, allowing the If team to focus on delivering seamless customer experiences, while DXC powers the integration in the background.”
