About Cover My Insurance

Cover My Insurance is a next-generation digital insurance marketplace that helps individuals and businesses connect with independent brokers across Australia. Rather than acting as an insurer, it lets customers submit requirements, compare quotations, and communicate directly with brokers to find the right cover. Built from the legacy Royal Insurance platform, it retains industry expertise while adding modern digital capability. 

Talentelgia supported the client from the maintenance phase through full modernization, architecture, redevelopment, deployment, and optimization, delivering a scalable, flexible marketplace designed for performance and continuous innovation.

The transformation challenge

Key Challenges

Legacy PHP architecture limited scalability, slowed development, and hindered feature implementation

The platform had to remain fully operational during new system design and migration.

Unstable third-party software caused high licensing costs and restricted workflow customization.

Architecture needed to support significantly higher volumes of interactions and concurrent traffic.

Redesigned backend processes improved reliability while maintaining trusted existing business workflows.

The new platform enables rapid feature development and integration without accumulating technical debt.
