ISCS is a provider of software and services to the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry best known for its SurePower Innovation enterprise suite. In fact, the company recently announced that The Andover Companies, a personal and commercial lines insure based in Andover, Mass., selected SurePower Innovation as the foundation for its modernization and automation initiative.

ISCS’ cloud-based, enterprise suite will be delivered in this agreement as a complete, managed SaaS (News - Alert) solution via the company’s SurePackage deployment option.

"We are of course pleased with The Andover Companies' selection," said Andy Scurto, president of ISCS. "We're eager to get them up and running on SurePower Innovation, so they can start reaping the benefits of a pre-integrated architecture, including a consistent user experience and quick configuration so they can be better positioned to grow in the future."

As part of seeking a new core technology operating system, The Andover Companies looked for a solution that can best support its mission to be the carrier of choice to its agency partners. SurePower Innovation was chosen for its ability to achieve this thanks to its modern architecture. Because of the suite, The Andover Companies believes it is well positioned for future growth and enhanced service capabilities.

SurePower Innovation is a fully web based, completely pre-integrated enterprise suite built on one platform. It allows insurers to automate:

• Core functions such as policy, billing and claims
• Reinsurance
• Business intelligence
• Insurance accounting
• Payables
• Document management, producer/commission management and agent/consumer portals.

In addition, the platform’s mobile features and functionality enable versatility for insurers when it comes to handling agent and policyholder needs anytime, anywhere. ISCS introduced its new line of mobile products a little over a year ago which include an insured service app that can be tailored to the insurer’s requirements via SurePower’s extensive configuration options.

"We launched a comprehensive search for new software that would build upon our outstanding relations with our independent agents," said Stephen E. Randall, vice president for The Andover Companies. "What we found with ISCS was not only an outstanding enterprise suite that was completely pre-integrated, but a cultural fit that dovetailed neatly with our service philosophies."
