The project.
Interiale was born out of the merger of three large mutuals with expertise in social protection for public service employees. In June 2008, when they merged, it was important for the group to give a new direction to our member relations.
It was imperative to treat our members in a more global way and to have a 360° visibility on all our portfolios. To do this, we decided together to upgrade all the tools in order to unify our systems. Each mutual had its own tools. For example, there were three separate accounting software packages.
When we merged, Intériale re-equipped the entire network with new support, business and front-office applications. As far as CRM is concerned, each mutual had a clear opinion on the matter. Only one of them was already using a CRM tool, the other two were in the process of choosing a solution.
Before taking this strategic decision, we consulted various important players and then set up a technical and functional working group. By mutual agreement, we decided to look for an editor capable of integrating into our SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) to enable us to address the interoperability issues between the tools that implement our IS.
Following our call for tenders, two players stood out, efficy of course, and one of its direct competitors. We chose efficy because it perfectly met all our functional needs.
We particularly appreciated the scalability of the data model and the simple and efficient ergonomics of the software. Merging three large entities is complicated. It was imperative to optimise the transition between the software, especially for the end users. Having done it, we can speak of it as a real success.
