GuideOne Insurance, one of the nation's largest church insurers, has selected Insurity to provide it with a comprehensive property/casualty policy administration system for commercial and personal lines. The Insurity system will handle underwriting, rate/quote, workflow and policy-issuance functions.

"The Insurity policy administration system will replace several of our older core systems to streamline our work processes, improve efficiency and enhance the service we provide to our customers and agents," said Bob Crane, GuideOne senior vice president and chief information officer. "As a single platform for our commercial and personal business, the new system will consolidate our infrastructure, eliminate multiple data entry and reduce expenses. It will also speed up policy turnaround time and help agents maximize their productivity."

The system will let GuideOne agents quote, issue, endorse and renew policies, Crane said. Agents will also enjoy greater functionality, including real-time data for customer service, book-of-business reporting and business analysis.

"By migrating from a legacy mainframe to Insurity's new Web services platform, GuideOne receives a service-oriented architecture that provides an inherent integration capability and lets business data flow seamlessly among different disciplines and groups of users," explained Alex Aminian, Insurity senior vice president and chief technology officer. "Use of business Web services in conjunction with the open industry standards will significantly reduce total cost of ownership while increasing end-users' productivity and ease of access to a wealth of data."
