CONYERS, Ga., Dec. 11, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- ImageRight, a leading provider of insurance-focused content management and workflow solutions is pleased to announce the signing of London-based Hardy Underwriting Group PLC, a specialty insurer and reinsurer operating within Lloyd's of London, as the company's 400th client in the insurance industry.
"ImageRight is pleased to announce a new strategic alliance with Hardy Underwriting Group for the provision of content management and workflow solutions," said Don Elias, president of ImageRight.
The data-intensive nature of the insurance business makes content management and workflow crucial for eliminating paper and automating processes relating to core administration functions. Content management and workflow solutions improve the fundamental business of insurance and enable insurers to serve customers better. Recent technology improvements industry-wide and in the ImageRight offering specifically encouraged Hardy to change from its existing document management and workflow solution. Hardy chose ImageRight because the company specifically serves the insurance industry, and the ImageRight product consequently addresses a number of requirements without having to build or specify many bespoke changes to the application.
Matthew Simpson, chief operating officer at Hardy noted, "The combination of ImageRight's experience and the dedication of their skilled staff resulted in a well-rehearsed efficient and painless transition process, encompassing implementation, configuration, migration and training, engaging with our users at each stage. Their product has been implemented across the business and has been well received and adopted by the company. The ability to organize, identify and view information more quickly and efficiently than could previously be achieved through our existing applications made ImageRight a great choice for Hardy. We believe that the adoption of these types of solutions will help drive greater efficiencies across the business, generating value for all of our stake holders."
ImageRight's clients represent all segments of the insurance industry, including life, property/casualty and reinsurance carriers, agencies, MGAs, wholesale insurance brokers, and insurance service providers. This diverse client base positions ImageRight in the U.S. as well as globally to effectively and efficiently solve the content management and workflow problems of companies operating in the insurance industry.
