Consulting Expertise

Despite all of the articles and books on the topic, companies today are no more effective at delivering on large-scale change initiatives than they were 20 years ago. In a recent survey, 70% of the companies said their change management initiatives did not deliver the expected results. That success rate was unchanged from similar surveys conducted in the 1980's and 1990's. And the environment for change is only getting more complex.  Read more .......

The Business Case
Traditionally, Marine and Aviation business was written by a local insurance company, as incidental products to their main property and liability business. The Allianz Group decided to extract the Marine and Aviation business from these local companies and form a new, specialist insurer. Consequently, the challenge that faced AMA was integration of these disparate operations into a single, cohesive company. The problem was compounded by the fact that AMA counted 20 different information systems across its new venture. 

AMA identified the following key objectives:

• Standardise business processes across the company and ensure they complied with the Sarbanes Oxley Act, recently passed in the US, that controls the activities of any company trading on the US stock exchange
• Introduce a new, integral system architecture that reduced cost; provided functionality appropriate to a specialist insurer and improved the quality and timeliness of management information
• Establish AMA as a separate Allianz brand within the market
• Establish AMA as an independent operating entity by bringing ‘in house’ functions previously outsourced to Allianz AG – specifically technical and financial accounting.

Scyllogis' Role:
Our role continues to encompass full programme responsibility to implement the objectives outlined above within the AMA branches in Europe, primarily France and Germany, with complete responsibility for managing AMA staff and software vendors. We also provide System Implementation Consultants for specialised aspects of the project.  Additional key objectives include enablement of a knowledge transfer process between our consultants and AMA stakeholders ensuring that the business ‘buys into’ the project, ensuring full ownership, and issuing communication of programme information to the organisation.

‘I am delighted with the work done by Scyllogis so far.  In addition to successfully delivering on the technical aspects of their role, I am particularly pleased with the way that they have understood the strategic goals of the company and have worked with us to successfully promote these across the whole organisation.’

Why Scyllogis?
Quite simply because we were able to provide:

• The level of programme leadership skills demanded by AMA
• Access to Scyllogis consultants who specialize in implementing and supporting similar programmes
• Proven track record in designing system architectures and system integration
• Complete understanding of the strategic goals of AMA together with the capability that allows us to contribute to the ongoing development of these strategies
• The capability to manage the technical change as well as the business change
• Previous experience in working with ‘start ups’ that have been ‘spun out’ of existing entities
• Practical ‘hands-on’ consultancy to AMA to deliver tangible results

‘Scyllogis has shown a great understanding of the challenges involved in a multi-cultural project and has played an important role in the successful creation of a new pan European organization where different personalities and nationalities work together towards a common goal.....’
