Experience and Accomplishments
Regional Auto Insurance Carrier, Atlanta, Georgia

Recently completed the development and implementation of a fully-functional, policy and claims management
system for the non-standard auto insurance industry. The multi-state, web-based Policy and Claims
Management System allows the carrier to issue, manage, endorse and renew policies, initiate and process
claims, accept insured payments, pay agency commissions and run real-time and month-end reports using only
a web browser or mobile device.
The solution interfaces with multiple comparative rating providers and allows for multiple payment options,
automates local and state reporting and communicates with appraisers, adjusters and other third-party service
providers. It includes SMS messaging and IVR capabilities to accept payments, issues payment reminders and
automates account inquiry. The system is entirely cloud-based and runs on multiple, private Amazon EC2 and
RDS instances and utilizes MS SQL Server, Amazon DynamoDB and S3 for distributed storage, high-availability
and redundancy.
