Atain selected the Oceanwide and Insurity products following what a vendor statement calls an extensive search to replace a legacy system that was not meeting its functionality or technology needs. A key criterion for Atain was that Bridge could be used for carriers, MGAs and brokers, giving the company the opportunity to use the solutin to address multiple functions across the enterprise.

“We were impressed with the Oceanwide team and the Bridge and Claims Decisions solutions,” comments Michael Paulin, VP and Managing Director, IT, H.W. Kaufman Financial Group, “As a part of H.W. Kaufman Financial Group, it was important that we selected a system that not only met Atain’s requirements but was also flexible and could be configured to improve the user experience across the many companies within our group.”
