GCAN Insurance Goes Live With ISI's WebWriter Enterprise


TORONTO and GRAPEVINE, TX--(Marketwire - June 8, 2010) -  Insurance Systems Inc. (ISI), a leading provider of web-based enterprise solutions for the property and casualty insurance industry, announced today from the Insurance Accounting & Systems Association Annual Conference in Grapevine, Texas that GCAN Insurance has successfully implemented WebWriter Enterprise as part of a large scale legacy modernization project.

Toronto-based GCAN Insurance went live with ISI's WebWriter Enterprise for the company's professional errors and omissions (E&O) line of business in May 2010. Professional E&O is the first line of the company's portfolio to go live with WebWriter Enterprise. Additional lines are planned to go live later this year as a part of the next phase of the company's complete legacy modernization.

"When GCAN went looking for a system, technology, flexibility and pre-integration were our main selection criteria," said Mark Cairns, vice president and chief information technology officer for GCAN. "ISI exceeded our expectations in all of these areas and ultimately delivered a solution which has increased our level of efficiency and made life much easier for our users."

A fully-integrated, browser-based property and casualty policy administration suite, WebWriter Enterprise features modules that enable insurance companies to run all aspects of their businesses more effectively, including core processing functions such as policy administration, claims, billing, accounting and reinsurance, as well as various supporting sub-systems such as rating, document production, CRM, workflow and reporting. 

"GCAN is a perfect example of a great company striving to become even greater through the effective use of technology," said David Hanley, vice president of business development and operations for ISI. "Automation of their manual processes in WebWriter Enterprise will allow them to increase efficiencies and provide even more responsive service while keeping expense ratios at a minimum."
