BERWICK, N.S. – March 15, 2019/insPRESS/ – On March 12th, 2019, the Kings Mutual Insurance Company implemented a cloud-based solution for their complete business operations.  Kings has successfully moved their entire technology footprint over to a private cloud solution with the assistance of their technology partners in this project, MCCG and iVedha.  Working together, MCCG and iVedha relocated King’s entire IT environment onto iVedha’s cloud infrastructure platform, including King’s enterprise insurance platform, the Insurance Business Solution (IBS®).  This has resulted in a wealth of benefits, including:

  • Fully managed and monitored environment
    • IT infrastructure and enterprise software
    • Managed Email services
    • Systems backup
  • Highly secure with Canadian data residency
  • All technology concerns moved to skilled professional organizations (iVedha & MCCG), the Kings team is freed up to focus on their core business of insurance
  • Overall improved Enterprise Risk Management on Infrastructure Technology

“We’ve been very impressed with the professional and quick transition the iVedha team has delivered to move us to the cloud.  They resolved all inquiries to our satisfaction and have great vendor coordination.  Their strong relationship with our longstanding and trusted service provider, MCCG, was an important factor in making our decision to choose iVedha.  It’s been a seamless transition moving all of our technology to the cloud, and iVedha’s suite of solutions are exceeding our original expectations.  The heightened backup and security will allow us to focus on our core business, insurance, and not worry about technology.”, confirmed Cara Cameron, President & CEO of the Kings Mutual Insurance Company.  “This means we can provide an overall better experience for our team, our brokers, policyholders and community, and that we’ll be there when they need us most.”

“It’s great to see another member of our community, the Kings Mutual, move to the cloud using our partner iVedha.  The collaboration between our teams ensured that this project was completed within budget for Kings.  iVedha’s cloud solution provides our client with a great backup, reduced cyber risk, an improved disaster recovery capability and guarantees second to none uptime, which is great for our client and our application.  The reality today, is that small to medium data intensive enterprises find it  challenging to keep up with technology solely using internal resources.  MCCG and iVedha are providing solutions that remove these technology barriers and let our clients focus on their clients and their business operations.”, said Jon Perry, Vice – President Client Relations at Mutual Concept Computer Group Inc.

“We’re delighted to have the King’s Mutual Insurance Company join the community of Mutuals who are choosing to move to our cloud platform.  It’s an honour to further empower Kings, a long standing community based insurer, and ensure that they have all the advantages of security, uptime and enterprise risk management that our solution provides.  iVedha is proud to have been selected as MCCG’s technology partner in the creation and delivery of a fully managed cloud hosting solution specifically tailored to meet the needs of mutual insurance companies across Canada. Our teams work exceedingly well together and the Mutuals are top notch organizations that are a pleasure to work with.”, declared Peter MacMillan, Vice President – Sales at iVedha.
