Life insurer TAL has chosen Bravura’s Sonata software solution for the administration of its superannuation, pensions, and investment business.

APAC Bravura managing director Roland Slee said the Sonata platform will provide TAL with greater business functionality with modern and open technology. 

“This will deliver the flexibility, scalability and performance TAL needs for speedy innovation and future growth,” said Mr Slee. 

TAL chief investment officer David Gillespie said TAL selected Sonata as it provides a “single, unified platform built in modern technology”, which will “consolidate multiple lines of business”.

 
 

“Sonata will enable us to reduce complexity and accelerate business innovation,”  he said.

Mr Gillespie said it will also fit within TAL’s customer-centric strategy. 

“As a multi-channel organisation that provides access to products both directly and through advisers, enhanced integration between our front and back office will allow TAL to deliver more compelling offerings, increase efficiency and enhance customer experience,” he said.

The Sonata solution uses Java and Oracle technology and includes workflow, analytics, mobility and straight-through processing capabilities.
