By Polaris Software Lab, PRNEMonday, May 24, 2010
LAS VEGAS, PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania and CHENNAI, India, May 25, 2010 - Intellect SEEC, a Polaris Group Company, is announcing the
launch of its new Collaborative Business Solutions - Insurance CBX. These
solutions are designed to effectively utilize portal technology, process
choreography and business components built on ACORD standards that improve
efficiency and support business growth.
Insurance CBX is an SOA enabled solution designed to provide
seamless integration and straight through processing for critical business
processes. Some of the business processes where efficiencies could be
achieved include:
- New business applications for Property & Casualty (P&C), specialty insurance, life and annuities - Automated underwriting to reduce cycle time for policy insurance - Claims for P&C, disability health and specialty insurance - Agent and service portals that provide consistent and easy access to information across multiple back end systems and lines of business
It is designed to rapidly renovate business processes
utilizing pre-built components from Intellect SEEC's award winning library of
components. This solution, along with the reuse of existing legacy systems,
results in significant time and cost savings.
Insurance CBX maximizes collaboration efforts between
customers, underwriters, agents and service personnel. It leverages IBM's
insurance process framework, a robust platform for transformation in the
insurance industry.
Insurance CBX Benefits: - Renovated the Claims business process in 120 days for the second largest insurance company in India. Rolled out new products using the product configuration feature, with minimal changes to the system. - Delivered New Business, Automated Underwriting, Policy Management and Billing in 180 days for a mortgage insurance company in the US. Delivering an ACORD Standards Based Solution lowered development costs and promoted reusability. The ACORD model was easily extended to support mortgage insurance. - Delivered portal based, intuitive user interface for insurers providing a 360 ¡ customer view improving customer retention and loyalty and sales.
"Intellect SEEC was the only vendor that could meet our
requirement to deliver a new business and automated underwriting system in
less than 6 months. This was critical to our business plan. Their technology
is state of the art and gave us the flexibility to choose our functionality
in phases as it is an SOA component based solution. We have been very
satisfied with the quality of the solution and their ability to meet tight
deadlines," said Jim McCourt, COO, Mortgage Assurance Corporation.
Arun Jain, Founder, Chairman & CEO, Polaris Software Lab said,
"We understand how to digitize and make the business process workflow more
efficient and that's why Insurance CBX was designed with the goal to improve
business process efficiency in several key areas of the insurance industry.
We have invested significantly in creating world class intellectual property
that serves some of the largest financial institutions in the world and the
Insurance CBX product line is our commitment to doing the same for the
insurance industry."

SEEC said, "We have created an insurance model and application architecture
that allows for rapid assembly of solutions that are customer centric and
allows insurance companies to react quickly to new business requirements,
product introductions and support of new sales channels."
About Intellect SEEC
Intellect SEEC helps the world's leading insurance and
financial services firms to deliver a seamless customer experience across all

Library(TM), we have designed, built and tested hundreds of non-proprietary,
SOA software components that can be quickly assembled to deliver business
solutions that streamline service, accelerate sales, and improve productivity

solutions leverage data and systems already in place, liberating the business
from struggling with silo'ed applications and avoiding the risk of rebuilding
or replacing proven assets. And because Intellect SEEC components are
designed for SOA, they can be reused across channels and product lines,
increasing agility and lowering IT costs. SEEC solutions use SLM(TM)
methodology for non-disruptive legacy modernization. With Intellect SEEC, IT
organizations gain a significant competitive advantage - faster, more
flexible solutions at lower cost than building from scratch.
