| Oracle | Microsoft Dynamics NAV | Oracle E-Business Suite | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017 Assurant UK implemented Oracle E-Business Suite to consolidate core finance and supply chain operations, replacing Microsoft Dynamics NAV and establishing a single ERP Financial platform for multinational operations. The implementation targeted both Financials and Supply Chain functions, with the full application name Oracle E-Business Suite reiterated as the primary ERP Financial system for accounting, procurement and order exchange workflows.
The deployment used Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3 and included an R11 to R12 upgrade of DB and application software as part of the program. Functional modules configured and delivered included Financials and Supply Chain modules with configuration for warehousing, procurement, exchange functions and customer replenishment workflows to support mobile phone insurance operations and product replenishment.
Integrations implemented included Channel Advisor integration to Oracle Supply Chain to enable excess and redundant product sales via eBay and Amazon, and connectivity work to support web based sales channels. The technical footprint included transition from physical to virtual infrastructure using VMWare, creation of new development environments specifically for LATAM, and infrastructure consolidation for several EU acquisitions including virtual servers, desktop and telephony integration.
Governance was organized as a coordinated programme to enable rollouts to 8 to 10 countries, with delivery to Argentina, Brazil, France and Chile and broader Latin America and European site coverage. Programme activities included management of internal and third party offshore teams, facilitation of support agreements for Oracle systems, and close liaison with local operational teams to plan and implement the process and workflow changes required by the ERP Financial and supply chain rollout.
Operational changes and platform-level projects delivered alongside the Oracle E-Business Suite implementation included O365 deployment and Windows 10 upgrades using SCCM with Quest for Outlook migrations, virtualization projects to reduce physical footprint, and high availability and disaster recovery design workshops. Site moves and operational relocations for Cork and York were coordinated within the scope of the ERP Financial program, aligning infrastructure and application delivery with business continuity plans.

| Benefex, a Zellis Company | Legacy | Benefex Cloud8 BEAM at WorkTM | Benefits Administration | HCM | n/a | 2018 | 2018 |
In 2018 Assurant UK implemented Benefex Cloud8 BEAM at WorkTM as its Benefits Administration platform. The cloud-hosted Benefex Cloud8 BEAM at WorkTM instance is surfaced through Assurant UK’s corporate site at the Benefex gateway URL, delivering an employee self-service portal for benefits enrollment and communications. The implementation concentrates on core Benefits Administration capabilities, including open enrollment management, lifecycle event handling, benefits data maintenance, and employee communications workflows typical of benefits administration applications. Configuration was proportioned to the company scale and aligned enrollment cycles and eligibility rules with HR operational practices.
Operational use centers on HR and benefits administrators managing policy setup, member records, and enrollment workflows, while employees access personal benefits information and enrolment tasks through the hosted portal. Governance is driven by role-based access, approval workflows for changes, and scheduled enrollment windows to enforce process controls and data accuracy. The deployment relies on the vendor-hosted portal model to deliver application updates and standardized benefits administration functionality, with configuration focused on aligning the platform to Assurant UK’s existing HR processes.

| Microsoft | Legacy | Microsoft Power BI | Analytics and BI | Analytics and BI | n/a | 2019 | 2019 |
In 2019, Assurant UK implemented Microsoft Power BI to centralize visualization and reporting within its Analytics and BI portfolio. The engagement delivered dashboards and visualizations for analysis, monitoring and management, with targeted scorecards and KPI reporting built for the Finance Department and cross-functional stakeholders.
Workstreams used Power BI Desktop for authoring and development, producing dashboards, scorecards, views, pivot tables, charts and KPI reports. Data was imported from multiple data sources, cleaned and pre-processed, and then modeled inside Microsoft Power BI using DAX queries, merge operations, scheduled refresh configuration and row level security. Automated reports and refresh schedules were established to enable ongoing operational reporting.
Operational governance included production data analysis, formal user acceptance testing with end users and participation in cross-functional teams to reengineer and improve business processes. Project management defined and communicated project scope, milestones, deliverables and client requirements during rollout. Outputs included Power BI visualization of dashboards and scorecards for Finance, and ongoing business insights and recommendations based on analytics.
