With this, the IT burden increases – paying for it & looking after it – & many insurance brokers are adopting a strategy to outsource. It transforms the way they use IT, how they pay for it & the returns they get.

Here are some of the benefits:

Peace-of-Mind
IT experts take the responsibility of ensuring your system is working fully at all times. Our locally installed IT infrastructure or software frees up your business from having to worry about your IT.

Predictable Costs
You can expect to have your IT hosted & managed for a fixed monthly fee which is set over an agreed period of time. This helps you manage your cashflow & avoids any nasty surprises.

Reduced Costs
As IT systems become more sophisticated, so does the knowledge required to manage them & the associated costs. By redeploying or removing the need for in-house IT expertise you can save money & time.

Better Customer Service
By redirecting focus away from managing your IT back onto your business, you are better equipped to focus on customer service & conduct more business.

Then, we launched our business insurance campaign. This was to raise awareness of the Aviva brand, whilst encouraging businesses to talk to a broker. We invested in the campaign because we believe that brokers are best placed to advise on the needs of a commercial business owner. We have used TV, radio, press and online advertising to convey our message – the broker is the best place to find advice on your commercial insurance.

On top of that we have launched this year, initiatives such as Fast Trade, Personal Best and Broker Independents Group.

If you want to find out about all the work we’re doing to support our brokers just visit www.aviva.co.uk/broker.
