With iVOSc Carrier Edition, insurers have a complete solution to support unique business strategies, design competitive products, and respond to increased customer and producer demands. To efficiently comply with today's latest regulatory requirements, iVOSc also provides sophisticated auditing and reporting tools. The iVOSc Carrier Edition offers three core modules that can be customized to meet any insurer's workflow, process and business needs: -- iVOSc Policy Administration Module offers a wide array of system capabilities that assist insurance companies in processing and administering policies, as well as underwriting and rating coverage. -- iVOSc Claims Management Module is designed to manage a complex claims operation with sophisticated scheduling, automation and workflow tools. -- iVOSc Billing Module represents a complete billing solution, providing a full range of capabilities for both customer and producer billing needs. Insurers can leverage iVOSc as an integrated "one-system" solution or select the individual modules according to their specific system requirements. "The iVOSc Carrier Edition has insurance intelligence built in," said Randy Wheeler, managing director of Aon eSolutions. "In the past, mission-critical information and best practices resided in the minds of insurance professionals or in paper-based files, unable to be leveraged across the entire enterprise. Working closely with insurance companies, we've engineered insurance intelligence -- that is insurers' unique knowledge and procedures -- into the product, so out of the box you have this great solution." Aon eSolutions has a long track record of success and growth in the insurer marketplace. Since the inception of the flagship iVOS product, the system has been implemented and utilized at leading insurance companies. Over the past year, implementations increased by 117 percent in the insurer market alone. "Insurance companies have highly complex system environments, and IT departments are being stretched to do more with less," said James Wedster, vice president of development at Aon eSolutions. "We developed the carrier edition with the iVOSc Enterprise Platform. This platform is highly adaptable and provides IT groups with the ability to configure and customize the system at the finest levels to meet their companies' unique business needs." The iVOSc Enterprise Platform includes four component sets that IT departments can leverage: -- iVOSc Developer Set empowers IT departments with maximum system control. -- iVOSc Integration Set provides a complete set of connectors to enhance system integration. -- iVOSc Rules Engine Set offers both embedded and third-party rules to automate workflow. -- iVOSc Reporter Set enables insurers to report on and analyze data to improve profitability, growth and performance.
