Ramsey County, Minnesota’s second most populous county and home to the state capital St. Paul, has chosen Insurity’s (Hartford) SIMS Claims to support administration of its workers’ compensation claims. The vendor reports that a key factor in the County’s decision was Insurity’s ability to host the system reliably and securely via its SIMS Cloud environment. Ramsey County, which has approximately 4,000 employees, also chose the Insurity claims system’s for its capabilities, scalability and capacity to support the self-insured government’s current business and planned growth.

Seeking to provide an enhanced set of leading and lagging indicators to its many operating departments and increase functionality beyond its in-house legacy claims system, Ramsey County opted to evaluate the market for available solutions, Insurity reports. The government was looking for a solution that could be deployed, hosted, enhanced, and maintained in a cloud environment by a vendor partner. With a vendor hosting and supporting the system, the county’s limited IT resources could focus on supporting the county with new initiatives rather than maintaining a system. After evaluation of four systems, Ramsey County selected Insurity’s SIMS Claims as the best fit solution due to a combination of its cloud deployment as well as the expanded capabilities the county would be able to leverage to modernize and enhance its claims environment.
Insurity details additional anticipated capabilities and benefits from Ramsey County’s implementation of SIMS Claims as follows:
- Ability to offer additional lines of business including short-term and long-term disability;
- Improved data capture and reporting;
- More effective communication with customers and business partners;
- Access to dashboards for a better perspective of performance and efficiencies;
- Transparency and analysis for enhanced decision making.
