Daman has adopted Microsoft cloud and productivity solutions to succeed in their journey of digital transformation. The move will enable Daman in its objective to further drive innovation through a combination of state-of-the-art technology and health insurance-related expertise offered by a highly skilled and knowledgeable workforce.

“Daman’s efforts in concert with Microsoft’s intelligent cloud and other innovations such as Surface hub, Office 365 and Power BI, have addressed their needs today and laid the foundation for business success tomorrow” said Sayed Hashish, Regional General Manager, Microsoft Gulf.

Through Azure, Daman implemented a Microsoft Office 365-based solution, combined with Power BI and the versatile Surface Hub, to transform how its employees collaborate and innovate. Power BI empowers Daman’s staff to build reports swiftly. And Microsoft collaboration tools keep the employees engaged and informed, as well as fostering a culture of open dialogue through use of Microsoft Forms.

“In a competitive market, we needed a strong technology partner to help consolidate our position. Microsoft’s Azure cloud has fulfilled all of our priorities and even offered an affordable, risk-free environment to test future innovations, which we used successfully” said Peter Bauer, Chief Information Officer, Daman.

On implementation, Daman immediately found it was operating in a world of increased security and productivity, with global, regional and local offices better able to collaborate, and employee, customer and corporate data more secure. Employees were, meanwhile, empowered by a positive hiring experience and a host of productivity tools that allowed them to make positive contributions more quickly. Daman is now in the process of integrating its traditional phone system with the Microsoft cloud’s collaboration tools, to improve audio-conferencing capabilities and reduce remote-attendance complexity for employees.

Through Microsoft Surface Hub, the healthcare insurance pioneer enables teamwork in the modern workplace, making working together the most productive part of the day. Employees are able to share ideas with one another on a canvas that reflects the full extent of their collective imagination.
