Transforming Insurance Brokerage into Digital Enterprise

Client Background

CARE Insurance Brokers was a 30-year-old, well-established insurance broking firm based in Dubai. As part of a strategic expansion into the Middle East, Burns & Wilcox (UK)—backed by the Kauffman Group (USA)—acquired CARE Insurance Brokers to establish a strong regional presence. Post-acquisition, the leadership team decided to move away from legacy infrastructure, set up a new, world-class office at Dubai World Trade Centre, One Central – Building 5, and build a secure, scalable, and compliant technology foundation from the ground up. The mandate was clear: Design, build, and commission the entire technology ecosystem from Day One.
