Bluesun Announces Partnership with Desjardins Insurance

Desjardins Insurance is the newest adopter of Bluesun’s WealthServ insurance back-office for their independent networks

Toronto, ON (Feb. 1, 2017) – Mike Donati, President & CEO of Bluesun, is pleased to announce that Desjardins Insurance,(1) one of the largest insurance companies in Canada, has come on board as the latest national insurance company to adopt Bluesun’s WealthServ as its insurance operations back-office software.

WealthServ is a web-based business management system that automates workflows and delivers operational efficiency to managing general agencies (MGA), MFDA firms, and National Accounts. Developed as a truly scalable SaaS enterprise solution, WealthServ supports distributors in optimizing business operations for themselves and their advisors.

“We at Bluesun are thrilled that a national insurance and investment distributor has placed its faith in Bluesun,” exclaimed Donati. “Desjardins Insurance is increasing its investment in Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network (DFSIN) and SFL Network (SFL) – and we are honoured that they have placed their trust in Bluesun by adopting WealthServ as their back-office platform.”

“With Desjardins Insurance coming on board just a couple of months after we signed an agreement with another Quebec-based firm, Bluesun is rapidly strengthening its presence in Quebec,” Donati continued.

Bluesun’s WealthServ now handles almost 70 percent of all policies written in Canada, and the addition of these Desjardins distribution networks to a roster that includes many of the largest MGAs in Canada supports Bluesun’s commitment to better serve the industry overall by increasing operational efficiencies.

Nancy Schafer, Vice President, Distribution at Desjardins Insurance overseeing Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network, commented on the company’s choosing of our platform. “DFSIN is an expanding network of client-focused independent advisors. Since our advisors provide many financial solutions to their clients, a platform that is easy to use and robust, like WealthServ, is critical. Our goal is to improve efficiency and in return provide better service to clients. WealthServ is held in high regard for its functionality and its commitment to customer service and support. We did our research and we feel confident in our new business relationship with Bluesun and its WealthServ product.”
