With Accenture Duck Creek’s simplified configuration and scalability, Coverys’ new integrated platform will better support extremely large schedules, offer advanced reporting, and enable high-volume processing within every segment of the business.
“Because our business is rather unique, transitioning from a legacy-based system to a modern platform required building one capable of enhancing our business agility, collecting and providing access to the right data to make better decisions, and delivering superior customer service,” said Eric Crockett, vice president of information technology at Coverys. “With Accenture Duck Creek, we found the right team and the right software that was truly configurable, scalable and able to meet our needs as we continue to grow.”
“The highly complex nature of this particular insurance segment made this a challenging project for our team and required significant configuration of theAccenture Duck Creek software so that Coverys could consolidate multiple systems and convert all of their claims data,” said Michael A. Jackowski, global managing director of Accenture Duck Creek. “To have their trust and confidence while we worked through the significant requirements with their team helped us build a platform that enables Coverys to customize and streamline processes and rapidly deliver product to the marketplace.”
Accenture Duck Creek Suite includes policy, rating, billing and claims software components that can be implemented independently or combined for an integrated approach to manage all aspects of the property and casualty insurance lifecycle.
