Welcome – thank you – some of you attended our first webinar on claims automation, thanks for joining us again – for those who didn’t -
Phil Robinson – bit of my background – before moving into technology and ECM specifically, spent 10+ years in insurance, both P&C and Reinsurance
But not about me, the processes and systems that I’ve used - About your organization – your systems, your processes
what do I mean by this title – today we’re going to not focus on the core business functions of applications or claims, but instead look at in effect everything else – your back office from corporate legal to finance to HR
Our IP as Zia – understanding how to apply modern, really next-generation technologies to your business process – how to apply intelligent capture, email integration, advanced workflow central content hub for document & image/video management, enterprise integration, records management, and more…
So let’s get started
So as I said - while underwriting and claims are the primary focus of many insurance companys' technology investments, significant benefits can be gained through automation solutions for back office functions from employee onboarding to accounts payable. Whether it’s by leveraging tools like Document Assembly for corporate legal or automated ERP integration for corporate finance, the results can substantially help organizations meet their operational goals in cost reduction and enhanced compliance.
Today we will look at how our insurance document automation solutions – often built around the concepts of case management - can transform your business processes and help you achieve these 2016 goals. Built on the Alfresco ECM platform, our solution allows users to continue working with the tools they prefer, while automating around them
So what do we mean here –
Invested in modernizing core systems / insurance suites – guidewire, duck creek, whomever
How much time spent on contracts automation, or invoice automation - how manage paper, workflow, access to documents, storing of records, - and yet often these are areas where substantial cost savings can occur
Understand this might be the non-glamorous side with IT investments
But we’ll look at the substantial benefits available through automation of what are largely “case management” business processes – including a corporate legal case where the company literally was able to save thousands of hours a month
With HR from Applications to Onboarding to Offboarding
And automating the RM / Archiving process
Through invoice automation
Costly –
How much money is spent in your organization managing the paper & processes around invoices, or employee applications, or legal cases
Complex –
documents via paper, fax, email, upload, mobile – what about facebook or twitter?
For many – because of the lack of integration – for digital documents, perhaps arriving via email – have Print + ReScan issue
Slow –
Modern consumer – want instant access, instant answers – where’s my application status
Manually entering data – perhaps from one screen to the next
Error Prone
What happens w/ manual entry – errors
We see over & over with automation solutions like these –
Over 50% increase, less than 9 months ROI
Study we mentioned last time – 10% to 20% growth without headcount
And reduce errors by 80% and processing time by 85%
For organizations it’s about:
Profitability
Customer Satisfaction / Retention
Compliance
Growth
Actionable BI
Everything – whether paper, fax, email, upload, mobile, etc…
Classified, data extracted & validated
With full page OCR – and without bar codes or seperator pages
With accuracy
What if you only focus on exceptions – with invoices, applications, etc…
Including Doc Assembly or Doc Generation
Workflow, Records Management, ERP/CRM
And obviously Insurance Management / Case Management Systems
EXAMPLE – ITM Twenty First???
And kicked off business process
Flexible
Tasks / roles, integrated with tools like Outlook, a content / ECM hub
Automation of tasks like Records Management
And ultimately the value of letting people use the tools they know, and work with every day – enhances productivity and adoption of systems and processes
Not “two screen” problem - Dallas and Minnesota and NYC
Not “print & rescan” problem
Single system of record, with access for all
So what are the building blocks or tools that we use?
Starts with Intelligent Classification & Extraction as we said – as some have said “it basically pays for itself” – our partner and recommended vendor is Ephesoft,
Central Content Hub – ECM “single system of record” – Alfresco
Activiti for BPM
And delivered to Systems like StoneRiver, Guidewire + also Legacy Mainframe Systems (again B&L had 6 claims systems) – or ERP/CRM/HCM systems
So let’s see what this looks like for one of our customers – as noted - Baldwin & Lyons specializes in insurance for the transportation industry. Through its many property and casualty insurance companies and brokerage firms, the company accepts risks covering more than a dozen different specialty products and services.
After years of growth recognized need to address number of issues:
Very paper based, manual – recognized need for new solution for digital imaging including classification & extraction
Content silos – had created mainframe based solutions over years, resulting in six different policy admin systems, billing systems, and claims system
Access – legal team to access claims documents, had to actually ask someone in claims – wanted a single system of record that all could access who needed
Baldwin & Lyons Insurance
Solution
Ephesoft for Intelligent Classification & Extraction
Established Alfresco as an “ECM Content Hub” & Activiti BPM
“Virtual Repository UI” for access to Legacy / Core Systems
Was average of 7-8 hours (say 8 hours) from time documents arrived until a claims adjuster could work on them, now down to 15-20 minutes (say 15 minutes)
"Revolutionize" the business - didn't change, transform
Single system of record - previously if legal wanted to see claims docs, had to request access to claims management system - now access direct, original docs in Alfresco - as does claims through CMS
Zia’s ActiveMigrate to move 10 Million Documents from Legacy Systems
Roadmap for SharePoint and Email Integration
“We thought pulling off a cultural change was going to be a challenge, but it turns out, once you get people engaged and excited about something, they trigger the change and you don’t have to drag them along. Today, change is a way of life for people we didn’t think it would be easy to convince to change at all”
