Astra Life is an Indonesia-based life insurance products and services provider. With low market penetration, the insurance market in Indonesia is still in a nascent stage of development. This offers a great opportunity for Astra Life, a company that intends to become a top-five insurance company.

Given the formation of the joint venture, the organisation must report to PT Astra International Tbk and Aviva International Holdings, as well as the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK). With the company’s existing accounting systems, it was a challenge for Astra Life to meet its monthly reporting deadlines.

Astra Life wanted a solution that could make reporting to its stakeholders easier and eliminate the risk of paying high penalties for late submissions and losing its license to operate as an insurance company.

Astra Life decided to upgrade its enterprise financial management solution to Infor SunSystems. It was the obvious choice: 70% of insurance companies in Indonesia use it for its ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and responsiveness. And thanks to Infor SunSystems’ Query & Analysis, Astra Life can now grab data automatically from its accounting system and prepare reports quickly.

The system has also allowed Astra Life to conveniently change its parameters to modify reports, so those reports better suit the end user.

Astra Life has also created templates that have helped it prepare custom reports to comply with the reporting requirements of the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK).
