Accenture has recently expanded its partnership with OP Financial Group, focusing on enhancing the digital capabilities of Pohjola Insurance. This collaboration aims to modernize OP's non-life insurance business division, Pohjola Insurance, by implementing a new cloud-based Guidewire platform for its IT applications. This move is expected to provide substantial operational savings and business benefits, including faster time to market for innovative new products and services.

Accenture will also take over the ongoing maintenance of Pohjola Insurance’s IT systems and applications. The companies will leverage automation, advanced analytics, and generative AI to reimagine and simplify business processes, enabling employees to respond more quickly to customer inquiries. Additionally, they will streamline Pohjola Insurance’s portfolio of non-life insurance products to better align with customers’ changing insurance needs and life journeys.

This expanded partnership is part of a multi-year collaboration that builds on the firms’ previous work together in the banking sector. The goal is to transform OP’s insurance business functions to boost agility, operate more efficiently, and enhance the customer experience. A transformation management team, comprised of leaders from both Accenture and Pohjola Insurance, will oversee the initiative to simplify processes and help meet OP’s long-term goals of improving the customer experience, achieving cost efficiencies, and expanding market share.
