Portal Server automates the time consuming, behind-the-scenes development work necessary to expose lines of business rules and rating engines to the Web
Mar 17, 2010
BOTHELL, Wash. – March 17, 2010 – Vertafore (http://www.vertafore.com), a leading provider of software and services to the insurance industry, today introduced Portal Server, an innovative new product that allows insurance carriers to bring back-office systems to the Web quicker than ever before.
The patent-pending Portal Server suite of tools enables insurance carriers to create or enhance their online presence for inquiry, real-time quoting and submission. Additionally, with Portal Server, carriers can accelerate their ability to bring new lines of business to the Web while leveraging existing systems, eliminating duplicate entry and dual-rate maintenance. The framework also integrates third-party and in-house software services, such as motor vehicle records, location services, credit scoring, reference information and underwriting or rules engines.
“Portal Server addresses a common industry problem: how carriers can Web-enable their legacy systems in an efficient, cost-effective manner,” said Vance Huntley, CTO of Vertafore. “By enabling carriers to leverage existing technology investments, Portal Server is truly a customizable and productivity-boosting solution—all trademarks of the Vertafore brand.”
The Portal Server approach of separating Web design from content generation allows anyone familiar with the database and business requirements to define the content and workflow of the portal. This productivity enhancing functionality allows Web developers to focus on what they do best—designing an online experience that is uniquely theirs.
“Portal Server empowers our staff to build out new lines and maintain changes—tasks that were previously very time consuming and only achievable with help from our technical experts,” said Mike Sciole, CIO of IFG/Burlington Insurance Group. “Now, we’re able to bring new lines to market faster than ever before.”
The product was built from the ground up using the latest Microsoft technology and up-to-date industry standards. Portal Server frees carriers’ Web portals from the restrictions imposed by policy administration systems, and data collection and screen flow can be organized to provide competitive advantage.
Portal Server is available now. For more information, contact Vertafore at 800.444.4813.
