With tight collaboration between our departments and OutSystems Platform, we are able to deliver customer-friendly solutions that keep pace with our business needs."

Liberty had an ambitious vision to connect every single department and external partner through an end-to-end solution that placed the customer at the core of operations and analytics. The single information system would allow every area of the company, including external partners, to interact in real time, and that has made it possible for Liberty to run its business effectively while providing outstanding customer-centric services.Achieving this goal was an enormous task given that:
•Liberty had inherited systems and applications from a previous merger and acquisition.
•IT had to comply with the procedures and standards of Liberty Mutual headquarters.
