Arrowhead Insurance Group Expands SurePower Innovation(R) Implementation Into Personal Auto

ISCS Solution Chosen After Rigorous Selection Process


SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - January 4, 2011) - ISCS is pleased to announce Arrowhead Insurance Group has expanded the company's implementation of ISCS's SurePower Innovation Policy Administration Suite to include business written by the company's Personal Auto Group. After a rigorous selection process, SurePower Innovation was chosen for personal auto in part due to the product's customizable architecture and proven capabilities to integrate with the centralized Arrowhead processing applications and business partners.

SurePower Innovation will now handle the business written by Arrowhead's Personal Auto Group, one of the largest divisions at Arrowhead. SurePower Innovation allows for enhanced processing and efficiency by bringing modern, Web-based technology to Arrowhead's policy administration. The ISCS platform enables improved efficiency by reducing the complexity of building interface architecture between the policy administration system and other downstream systems.

"Arrowhead can no longer ignore the necessity of legacy modernization or system replacement," said Dick Hoye, chief information officer for Arrowhead Insurance Group. "We are looking to ISCS and SurePower Innovation to help transform our business practices into more vibrant and agile ones by reducing the cost liability and increasing our abilities to react to the market in a swift manner and achieve competitive advantages over our peers." 

The rollout of SurePower Innovation in Arrowhead's Personal Lines Group is expected to be short and efficient, with a "go live" date planned for April of 2011. Following a successful rollout, Arrowhead plans to further expand the company's SurePower Innovation implementation to cover all of its automobile and motorcycle programs, across multiple states.

"Arrowhead is a valued customer and partner, and we are excited about such a major expansion of their SurePower Innovation implementation," said Andy Scurto, ISCS president and CTO. "We look forward to working with Dick Hoye and everyone at Arrowhead to ensure they receive even more return on their investment in SurePower Innovation and the trust they have placed in ISCS."
