Manitoba Public Insurance is forging ahead with its much-maligned technology overhaul project that significantly overshot cost projections, saying it paused the project last year to get a better understanding of how to deliver it.
CEO Satvir Jatana told a legislative committee hearing Thursday the Crown corporation needed to take stock of Project Nova, an IT renewal project launched in 2019 that's intended to let customers and brokers complete more of their auto insurance business online.
"We took a pause. We didn't want to continue because we have not been successful, I'll say, thus far," she said.
