“It is important for insurers to recognize that unless they evolve their technology, it will be difficult for them to compete in the marketplace in the future,” comments William Hanby, CIO, Rockford Mutual. “Our previous environment consisted of disparate systems and processes that required a wide variety of technical skills to maintain, leading to a high level of complexity that affected our speed to market.”
“The all-in-one nature of InsuranceNow and using configuration to make changes made the implementation process faster and less risky, giving us a high level of confidence in a successful project,” Hanby adds. “Feedback from our users has been positive so far; they really like the system’s intuitiveness and the new features and functionality available to them.”
