Frisco, TX; Toronto, ON (PRWEB via PRWebDirect) November 15, 2007 -- Skywire Software, a leading global provider of software and services to the insurance industry, today announced it has formed a partnership with policy administration vendor Insurance Systems Inc. (ISI). The new alliance will give insurers the ability to accelerate rating and underwriting, enhance their ability to write more business and better manage communications with insureds.
“Skywire Software and ISI have complementary technologies that, together, provide a full suite of policy administration and fulfillment capabilities, equipping insurers with software components that solve key business challenges,” said Carolee Dagenais, business alliance manager at Skywire Software. “This alliance presents a compelling value proposition for insurers to leverage technology and enhance their time to market.”
“With today’s modern IT architectures, there are more opportunities for insurers to invest in industry-leading components and connect them via SOA and Web services,” said Dave Hanley, vice president of business development at ISI. “Our flexible, Web-based policy administration suite, together with Skywire Software’s leading rating, document automation and customer communications management (CCM) capabilities, give insurers more choices for an end-to-end system for underwriting, rating, policy issuance and fulfillment.”
Both Skywire Software and ISI have earned praise from independent advisory firm Celent, LLC, in recent months. Celent named Skywire Software a leader in this year’s Insurance Software Deal Trends report in two separate categories: document creation and rating/quoting. The firm also praised ISI’s WebWriter Enterprise in the report Policy Administration Systems 2007, describing it as having unmatched flexibility among P&C policy administration systems.
“Skywire Software has made a commitment to work with innovative products, and ISI’s WebWriter Enterprise certainly fits that category,” said Wendy Gibson, chief marketing officer at Skywire Software. “We continually strive to provide software that empowers our insurers and their business users. This partnership gives our current and future customers access to modern, flexible technologies to help them better manage the policy lifecycle.”
