ESKADENIA Software, the premier provider of Insurance Management Software, proudly announces the successful digital enablement of the largest takaful merger in the Middle East between National Takaful Company (Watania) and Dar Al Takaful (DAT).
The National Takaful Company (Watania) and Dar Al Takaful were successfully merged as part of this successful endeavor, creating one of the largest Takaful companies, in the UAE. The technical systems merger started in May of 2022 and was completed within two months. The newly merged entity started using the software systems of ESKADENIA Software in its live operations on the 1st of July 2022. Despite the many challenges and tight schedule, this project was successfully completed thanks to the tireless efforts of the teams at Noor Takaful, Watania and ESKADENIA Software.
ESKADENIA Software’s systems were instrumental in facilitating the merger and digitally transforming the merged companies, timely and effectively uniting their operations and data. ESKADENIA Software’s systems that are now running in the new business entities Noor Takaful Family and Noor Takaful General, are ESKA® General and ESKA® Medical Insurance Management Systems.

These systems include ESKA® Financial, ESKA® Approval, ESKA® Notification, ESKA® Wakalah, ESKA® Inventory, and ESKA® Procurement.

“Our systems had been running in National Takaful Watania for over a decade. We were honored to be selected by the new board of directors of all merged companies. The teams showed dedication and hard work to go live for both General Takaful and Family Takaful companies in 2 months with all insurance products merged to offer a wider variety that suits all market needs” stated Shadi Saadeh, General Manager - ESKADENIA Software UAE.

“Our merger delivered a step-change in DAT’s scale and enhanced our financial strength and resilience. Driven by the rich combined talent pool, expanded infrastructure and partner network, and importantly our powerful data-led approach, DAT is very well positioned to reach and meet the needs of a wider client base in the UAE addressable market and beyond.
The Takaful/insurance industry is on a growth trajectory as the region emerges into a new era following the worst impacts of the pandemic. We are building a strong, scalable, and adaptable business model that is based on best practices and underpinned by clear values that will be able to meet the changing demands of customers and the overall market,” he added.
Martin Sebastian, Chief Information Officer of DAT said: “Time was the critical element in the whole integration process as we had just two months to set up both General & Family companies. Watania being an existing client of ESKADENIA and with a stable environment for over 11 years has helped us to take decision on target core insurance system without any doubts. Multi-company feature of ESKADENIA system helped us in establishing things fast. Watania’s digital platforms were integrated with ESKADENIA API's earlier and we managed to bring in all those as well during this integration process, which connects over 150+ brokers and 700+ users. Quite a good feat of achievement for the entire team in DAT & ESKADENIA.”
