Case Study #1 - Company Merge
Project
A multi-million dollar project to
merge two Insurance companies. Prevail was contracted to manage
and gather Requirements and to develop Specifications for
Automated Ceded
Reinsurance processing, Premium Accounting and Claims Management.
During the project, Prevail also reviewed Technical Specs
provided by the current software package vendor and advised of necessary
amendments. Upon the delivery of software, Prevail performed all
Quality Assurance testing, Training, and coordinated
Implementation and Production Deployment. The end result was the
successful merge of the two companies' business operations and
systems, On-Time and On-Budget.
Case Study #2 - TPA Claims
Interface Project
The objective of a $4 billion
Insurance Company was to automate the entry of all claims
transactions into their central operating system and data
warehouse. TPA's and MGA's were to provide monthly feeds to the
carrier in their original formats. Prior to the company's year-end
closing, several years of claim history from these external
sources were provided to be converted and corrected via automated
interfaces into the operating system and warehouse. After which,
these newly developed interface processes would be placed into
production to automatically interface the TPA's/MGA's monthly
loss data feeds on an on-going basis. Prevail's Project Manager
and technical resources enabled the customer to meet its
objectives On-Time and On-Budget, successfully closing the year
with a fully reconciled loss history database and to move
forward with their now fully automated claim entry operation. Prevail then
designed a new generic method of integrating new TPA's/MGA's
thus requiring a relatively small on-going development effort.
Case Study #3 - Schedule F System
Development Project
After Prevail successfully
completed a reinsurance data conversion from a client-server
system to the customer's corporate system, this Houston-based
insurance company asked Prevail to develop an integrated
solution for creating Schedule F. After reviewing the
requirements of the customer's existing Annual Statement
Printing vendor, Prevail designed and developed a completely
menu-driven system that included data extraction from the source
system into work files, screens for users to correct work file
data and add information that was not available in the source
database, and creation of download files in the format required
by the annual statement vendor. Prevail built complex edits and
data derivative processes across all Schedule F Parts to ensure
data integrity and elimination of redundant data entry. Prevail
made modifications to the customer's corporate system
reinsurance tables to capture additional NAIC Schedule
F-required data. Prevail also designed and built complex
algorithms to derive the NAIC designation codes for each
schedule part based on simple user-entered reinsurance company
characteristics. The system has the capability to run for any
accounting period range. All adjustments to work file data is
auditable. All system data is automatically archived. The system
includes recovery/restart procedures. Each project phase and
delivery was approved by the customer prior to advancement, and
was delivered on-time and on-budget.
Case Study #4 - WINS®
Implementation Project
After months of trying to implement the WINS
system with the customer's IT staff without much success, Prevail was selected to do the job.
Prevail immediately took ownership of the project, providing
Implementation Planning, Project Management, Analysis/Specs,
System Configuration and Controls, Training and Quality
Assurance. The customer went live with WINS®
(Policy Management, Claims, ISO and NCCI Stat Reporting,
Reinsurance, Financial Reporting) as planned.
