AGIPI

Process Automation Project and Digital Transition Program for Agipi

Context

Agipi, a subsidiary of Axa, wants to improve the efficiency of its agents by offering them innovative tools. These tools must allow them to provide relevant indicators and to dematerialize the processing chain. Astrakhan supports Agipi’s Information Systems Department in the implementation of agile practices as part of its business redesign program based on the adoption of a process approach.

On the other hand, Agipi has an operational IS that perfectly meets the needs of internal users. However, its architecture does not facilitate its evolution if it needs to maintain its presence with its customers and distribution network. How can the IS evolve while capitalizing on existing assets?
