This allows us to focus at our main priorities of servicing our policyholders and agents”, stated Henry Miller, President & CEO of North Kent Mutual Insurance Company. “Specifically, it has resulted in improvements to our data backup, reduced cyber risk, improved our disaster recovery capabilities, and has removed the need for my own team to be involved in these key areas, while reducing the level of enterprise risk associated to them.” “MCCG is pleased to see North Kent, another member of our community, successfully transition to the cloud with our partner iVedha. The synergy between our teams ensured that this project was completed within budget for the North Kent team.
