Insurance businesses turn to us when
Their current IT provider does not understand Solvency II data requirements or Lloyd's market technology
They are struggling to integrate legacy underwriting platforms with modern broker and claims systems
Their claims processing is too slow and manual, and they need technology to automate workflows and reduce handling times
They have experienced a cyber incident or near-miss and their current security posture is inadequate for the data they hold
They are setting up a new Lloyd's syndicate or MGA and need compliant IT infrastructure from day one
Their Solvency II reporting is hampered by data quality issues across disconnected IT systems
They need to modernise their technology stack without disrupting live underwriting and claims operations
Their business continuity arrangements do not meet PRA or Lloyd's expectations for operational resilience
They want strategic IT guidance from a provider who understands the insurance market, not just generic managed services
How it works
From first conversation to live phone system, we manage the entire process so the switch is seamless for your team.
1
Discovery & Recommendation
We assess your current phone setup, call volumes, team structure and remote working requirements. We check your broadband is suitable for VoIP and recommend the right system — hosted VoIP, Teams Voice or SIP trunking.
2
Configuration & Number Porting
We configure your entire phone system — call flows, auto-attendant menus, hunt groups, voicemail, user permissions and CRM integrations. We port your existing numbers so customers call the same number as before.
3
Handset Setup & Training
We pre-configure IP handsets, install softphone apps on laptops and mobiles, and provide hands-on training for your team. Everyone knows how to use the new system before we switch it on.
4
Go-Live & Ongoing Support
We manage the cutover to minimise disruption, monitor the system post-launch and provide ongoing technical support. Need a new user added, a call flow changed or a handset replaced? One call to us.

Why Cloudswitched for VoIP?
IT company first, telecoms provider second. That's why your phone system actually integrates with everything else.
IT company, not a telecoms reseller
We configure QoS, firewalls, VLANs and network settings properly — not just plug in phones and hope for the best. Your voice quality is our responsibility.
One point of contact
Phone system, internet connection and IT support — all managed by one team. No finger-pointing between providers when something goes wrong.
CRM integration done right
We don't just tick a box — we properly integrate your phone system with your CRM so screen pops, call logging and click-to-dial actually work reliably.
Right system, not the most expensive
If Microsoft Teams Voice is all you need, we won't upsell you a full hosted PBX. We recommend based on what fits your business, not our margin.
Network-first approach
We assess your broadband, configure QoS and test call quality before go-live. If your connection isn't good enough for VoIP, we'll fix that first — we do connectivity too.
Fraud protection included
VoIP fraud is real — hackers can run up thousands in international call charges overnight. Our systems include fraud detection and call barring to protect your business.
Seamless number porting
We manage the entire porting process — coordinating with carriers, scheduling the switchover and ensuring zero downtime. Your customers won't notice a thing.
Hybrid & remote ready
Softphone apps on every device mean your team can make and receive calls from their business number whether they're in the office, at home or on the road.
Scales instantly
Adding a new user takes minutes, not weeks. No engineer visits, no hardware orders, no waiting. Your phone system grows as fast as your business does.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about VoIP and phone systems for insurance businesses? We've answered the most common ones below.
Do you understand the Lloyd's market and syndicate technology requirements?
Yes. We support Lloyd's syndicates, managing agents, and coverholders across London. We understand Lloyd's market messaging, placing platforms, and the specific technology standards Lloyd's requires, including the ongoing Blueprint Two modernisation programme.
Can you help with Solvency II data and reporting requirements?
We ensure your IT infrastructure supports accurate, timely data aggregation for Solvency II reporting. This includes maintaining data integrity across underwriting, claims, and finance systems, implementing proper backup and retention policies, and supporting your actuarial and finance teams with reliable technology.
How do you handle legacy system migration in insurance?
We plan and execute phased migrations that modernise your technology without disrupting live underwriting or claims operations. We maintain parallel running periods, comprehensive data migration testing, and rollback plans to ensure business continuity throughout the transition.
What insurance-specific cyber threats should we be concerned about?
Insurance firms face targeted phishing campaigns exploiting policy and claims data, ransomware attacks aimed at disrupting operations, and data theft targeting the sensitive personal, medical, and financial information you hold. We implement layered security controls addressing these specific threat vectors.
