FINEOS Corporation, a global provider of innovative enterprise software solutions for insurance and government insurance, today announced the successful implementation of the FINEOS Claims solution for Disability and Income Protection Insurance at SalusAnsvar, one of Sweden’s leading life assurance companies. The company is using the FINEOS solution to support and manage the complete claims lifecycle for life, income protection (disability), accident and sickness claims from first notification through to final settlement and resolution. The go-live of FINEOS Claims, completed on November 24, 2009, took less than 10 months from contract closure and was successfully achieved on time and on budget without any major disruption to normal business processes.
Ulf Nilsson, Managing Director of SalusAnsvar Group Life Company welcomed the go-live. ”I’d like to congratulate both the SalusAnsvar and FINEOS teams on their hard work and commitment in getting this project live. We have replaced an end of life legacy system with a market-leading solution that aligns with industry best practice. We are now positioned to quickly adapt to changes in the business environment without reliance on external parties or specialist technical knowledge. Moreover, FINEOS is helping us deliver savings in claims processing overall especially in the area of indexation of payments and reserves”.
