Kin Insurance is a home insurance company that offers affordable, easy-to-understand coverage. It leverages technology to offer tailored policies and competitive rates in select states.
Challenge
Before adopting BetterCloud, Colleen Alaimo, Kin’s Senior IT Manager, and the Kin IT team faced significant challenges in managing their Google Drive environment. With millions of files and limited visibility, ensuring security and compliance was a daunting task. Additionally, the team struggled to identify and control Shadow IT, leading to potential security risks and wasted resources
Upon joining the team, Colleen knew BetterCloud would be an excellent solution as she had used it at 5 previous companies over a 13-year period.
Solution
Before implementation kicked off and upon setting up only a few integrations, Colleen and her team found immediate software savings in the Spend Optimization module.
“
BetterCloud instantly paid for itself,”
– Colleen Alaimo
When reviewing an upcoming software renewal for 300 users, Colleen used BetterCloud to quickly determine only 180 users had signed in recently, allowing the team to revise the renewal down to 200 licenses. This alone saved Kin over $100,000!
With reducing spend as a key initiative across the organization, BetterCloud has helped Colleen and the entire organization find additional savings opportunities as well as narrow down spend per employee.
Automated access for independent adjusters
When processing claims, Kin utilizes independent adjusters to investigate and follow through with said claims.
Recognizing that independent adjusters are hourly workers whose activity fluctuates, Kin implemented an automated workflow using BetterCloud and JumpCloud to deactivate accounts after a specified period of inactivity.
This not only optimizes costs, but also enhances security.
What’s next
Colleen and the team plan to continuously monitor software usage in BetterCloud for more savings opportunities and also continue creating workflows to support their ongoing DLP initiatives.
