Aiken’s William Irwin, CEO, explained:

“As a business you are always seeking to improve your operations, to increase sales and deliver exceptional customer service. We wanted to achieve greater efficiencies in our business and looked to our technology partner, Open GI, to assist us. The additional technology we now have in place on our broking platform allows our teams to seamlessly generate client documentation and in turn provide our SME customers with quicker responses.”

Irwin continued:

“The new technology has allowed us to also maintain all of our files online, which means there is less need to maintain paper copies. In turn we now have more office space to help with our expansion plans, including recruitment and training of additional staff to better serve our clients. We are exceptionally pleased with the new technology, it has been really straightforward to use and Open GI has provided guidance and training along the whole journey.”

Open GI’s Regional Manager, Robert Fitzsimons, added:

“We are delighted to see the impact our technology has made on Aiken Insurances’ business growth. They are a very forward-thinking broker and are passionate about their business. Impressively, they have managed to turn the use of the new solution to their advantage and by growing their business means they can recruit more employees – which is great for the industry and local economy.”
