As part of the agreement, CGI will continue to provide data center services, applications maintenance and support services for Aviva Canada’s insurance policy system R 2000. The contract also includes additional support for the recently installed Ratabase solution. Aviva Canada will process in excess of C$700m in insurance premiums per year through these solutions.

Ratabase, CGI’s rate and rules management tool suite, aims to provide a comprehensive, cost-effective solution that allows insurance experts within a carrier to rapidly develop and deploy insurance products in any application on any platform. It has been utilized by Aviva Canada in support of both personal and commercial lines of insurance.

Michael Roach, CGI’s president, commented: Broadening our existing relationship with our clients of long standing is key to helping them win and grow through intelligent uses of technology.
