Online policy issuances at Strickland Insurance made possible by Inventive Designers' Scriptura
Antwerp (Belgium), November 7, 2008 – Inventive Designers, creators of the innovative Scriptura document automation solution enabling businesses to communicate with their customers in a personalised manner, has been chosen by Strickland Insurance Group for document automation and online policy issuance.
With headquarters in North Carolina, Strickland Insurance Group (SIG) is one of the leading insurance groups in the United States. SIG offers a wide range of insurance products for private and business customers, including Commercial Auto, Commercial General Liability, Inland Marine and Commercial Property lines of business.
SIG desired to get the issuance of its insurance policies over the Internet underway in short order. The existing solution failed to meet this need, therefore, SIG set out in search of a document solution enabling the company to act in response to large volumes. In addition, the solution was required to be capable of integrating the existing applications already in place. Following an extensive trial stage, SIG decided on the Scriptura software, a document automation solution from Inventive Designers bringing an intuitive graphical user interface to the creation of official documents.
With Scriptura entirely based on open standards, SIG is now able to generate all types of documents in many types of output formats, offering boundless possibilities. In addition, the implementation of Scripture enables the group to maintain its existing administrative procedures for policies and applications for the calculation of insurance rates over the Internet. Greg Ricker, IT manager for SIG goes on to add: “I am confident that we have made the right choice in going with Scriptura. The software can just about handle anything, including the processing of large volumes and intelligent e-Forms for issuing policies over the Internet. It is this very combination that makes Scriptura eminently suited for our group.”
