2-14 What types of information systems and business processes were used by Income before migrating to the fully digital system? NTUC Income (Income), one of Singapore’s largest insurers, has over 2 million policy holders with total assets of S$31.3 billion.

The insurer employs about 3,400 insurance advisors and 1,200 office staff, with the majority located across an eight-branch network. In 2014, the company solidified its status as a market leader in Singapore, but its modernization began years ago with a critical information systems upgrade.
