The acquisition of the ConVista South Africa business, which will now trade as ‘Solutions for Insurance’ or ‘S4i’, will add more than a decade of experience in delivering multi-million rand, innovative solutions for blue-chip clients across the world to the Deloitte Consulting offering.

“We are very excited to have Dylan Evans and his team join us because of their deep expertise and experience in the insurance industry. Their skills and solutions perfectly complement our insurance industry offerings and with this acquisition, Deloitte Africa is better placed to service our insurance clients with state-of-the-art solutions wherever they operate on the continent,” says Deloitte Africa chief executive, Lwazi Bam.

ConVista South Africa was established in 2005 to meet a strong demand for bespoke designed and implemented SAP-based systems for insurance companies. These solutions focus on variable remuneration, primarily for the insurance industry but applicable in many variable pay environments. Over the years, ConVista South Africa has expanded its offerings within the Insurance industry to include strategy, business transformation and technology delivery services. ConVista South Africa also implements claims and collections solutions.

An expanded financial services portfolio

“Deloitte Consulting has been named the number one consulting organisation globally by Gartner Research, and our strategy is to bring the same level of innovation and expertise to our work in Africa. With ConVista South Africa joining us, our expanded financial services portfolio enables us to continue providing the very best service,” says Deloitte consulting managing director, Thiru Pillay.

“After a six-month long search for a potential home, we felt that Deloitte was the right choice for us due to alignment in culture, customer focus, strong team orientation and being talent driven with an innovative and entrepreneurial mind-set. Throughout our dealings with Deloitte, these principles were constantly reinforced.” says Dylan Evans, formerly Managing Director of ConVista South Africa, now a Deloitte Consulting Associate Director and Insurance Industry Leader for South Africa.
