CGI Group has signed a £6m applications management deal with motor insurer Highway Insurance Holdings.
Under the agreement Highway will benefit from CGI's specialist support services. CGI will also provide access to its remote Unix production servers.
In addition, CGI will dedicate technical services to support and maintain Highway's database systems on Oracle.
The contract utilises CGI's Global Insurance Open Solution (GIOS) insurance administration system. CGI claims the system helps insurers speed up claim resolution and reduce red-tape.
Stuart Davies, Highway general manager said: "The GIOS solution which was designed and built by CGI, has also been tailored to meet Highway's very specific requirements.
"We were therefore confident, taking into account our existing relationship with CGI, that the management of the applications would best be placed in CGI's safe hands.
"The new contract recognises our long term partnership with CGI and is expected to bring significant cost and efficiency savings over time."
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
