CONYERS, Ga., Aug. 2, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- ImageRight, a leading provider of insurance-focused imaging, content management and workflow solutions, recently held their bi-annual user group conference July 24-26, 2007 at the Omni Hotel in Atlanta, GA.
During the opening general session, ImageRight President Don Elias spoke about the company's continuing commitment to providing second-to-none customer service and an industry-leading insurance-specific document management solution. Vertafore CEO Euan Menzies also helped to kick off the event with a brief statement.
"We are very proud to include ImageRight in the Vertafore family," said Menzies of the April acquisition of ImageRight by Vertafore. "And I want to take some of the ImageRight 'magic' that I have seen so far and translate that back to the other companies that we own."
Over 800 insurance company, agency, brokerage, MGA and reinsurance professionals attended this year's event and took part in nearly 30 sessions and roundtable discussions in business and technology tracks on topics including reporting and metrics, straight-through processing, business continuity, remote access, and insurance industry trends.
Attendees were encouraged to network with peers and learn about new ImageRight features and solutions in a fully-staffed lab with more than 100 desktops running the ImageRight system. Additionally, ImageRight held its inaugural meeting of their User Advisory Council, a group comprised of ten ImageRight clients in various segments of the insurance industry who will give feedback and suggestions about improvements to the system and who will help prioritize future upgrades and direction the company and product should take in the future to meet the needs of insurance industry clients on an ongoing basis.
"It is an honor to participate as a member of ImageRight's User Advisory Council," said Bob Robertson, vice president and director of IT business analysis for White Mountains Re Services, LLC, Folksamerica Reinsurance, a White Mountains Re Company that deployed ImageRight in 2004. "Like the User Group Conference, the User Advisory Council is just another example of how ImageRight strives to meets the needs of not only customers, but the insurance industry as well."
Each year, ImageRight contributes $1,000 to the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) for each new insurance client signed in honor of Kerry Bardorf, a former ImageRight employee who died in 2005 from pulmonary hypertension (PH). At this year's user group conference, an additional $11,000 was raised by ImageRight and their clients to support PHA's efforts and research toward finding treatments or a cure for this debilitating disease.
In addition, ImageRight announced the cities where next year's regional user group conferences will be held. Next year's locations include Atlanta, Atlantic City, Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas and Orlando.
