Groupama Healthcare enhances web presence
7 March 2008
New website to enhance communication and make trading easier
In the first of a number of important online initiatives designed to improve access to information and streamline business processes, Groupama Healthcare has revamped and re-launched its corporate website - www.groupamahealthcare.co.uk.
With a new look and feel consistent with the Groupama style and worldwide brand values, the updated healthcare site provides a one stop shop for all products and service information as well as the latest news for Groupama's business partners and policyholders.
Building on the strengths of the Groupama Insurances website (www.groupama.co.uk ) that was recently ranked 1st in the insurance sector in terms of accessibility and performance*, navigation of the site has been simplified to ease information location and retrieval. This ensures that site visitors can locate the information they require quickly and identifies the content Groupama needs them to access.
A new dedicated intermediary section offers brokers and intermediaries the facility to download Groupama Healthcare's product and corporate literature as well as to access extensive information and data about Groupama Healthcare and the worldwide group.
For policyholders, the website provides quick access to policy booklets, and details about chronic conditions as well as information on how to make a claim.
Claire Ginnelly, Head of Business Development at Groupama Healthcare says "This important revamp is all about making Groupama Healthcare as accessible as possible to brokers, intermediaries and policyholders, providing the information they need at the touch of a button. Our enhanced website demonstrates our commitment to exploiting online technology to enhance communication and improve service standards. This important development is part of a strategy to use technology to support our business and make Groupama Healthcare even easier to trade with. This will be supplemented later in the year with the launch of our new E-Admin facility for supporting brokers and intermediaries."
