Case Study: LV= Insurance accelerates innovation and reduces development costs with Mendix

LV= Modernizes and Standardizes Application Development in Insurance

LV=, the U.K.’s third-largest motor insurer, faced a paradox of rapid growth: acquisitions and extensions had left a tangle of legacy systems and a heavy IT backlog, slowing application development and blocking opportunities to automate processes and grow revenue. Leadership needed a way to pursue innovation quickly—without diverting scarce IT resources from core operations or committing to lengthy, costly projects.

LV= standardized on the Mendix platform to rapidly prototype and then build production apps—creating a broker portal prototype in 30 days and expanding to enterprise-grade applications to support new product trials (for example, a simple, lower-premium life product for the 50-plus market). The result: faster, lower-cost delivery, easier cloud deployment and hosting, stronger business–IT collaboration, reduced reliance on expensive specialist developers, and the ability to test market demand without multi‑year, multi‑million‑dollar investments.
