Our Partnership Highlights
Highlights of what
we've built together
Mainframe modernisation at enterprise scale
Sanlam is modernising key mainframe-based assets, and Entelect led the strategic and technical design, providing a standardised foundation to support phased modernisation across the group.
AI-assisted analysis in 2 hours for mainframe modernisation
Using AI-assisted analysis, we reduced requirements discovery from 2 days to 2 hours, accelerating Sanlam’s transition away from legacy systems and enabling faster, more informed modernisation decisions.
Real-time rewards and insights platform
We developed an integrated loyalty and rewards solution, giving Sanlam customers and intermediaries real-time access to benefits, usage insights, and balances – reducing reliance on manual processes and call centres.
Scalable, cloud-ready platform architecture
Across initiatives, we’ve implemented modern engineering practices and architectures that support Sanlam’s cloud transformation strategy, from introducing scalable patterns to templatised approaches.
