The vendor’s familiarity with CSC core systems and data structure has driven other business iPartners’ way, according to Robert Lasher, CEO, iPartners. “Cumberland is our sixth CSC PT user client and we believe there are a lot more CSC insurer users looking to leverage the data they’ve been collecting for years,” he comments.
