CSC has unveiled new offerings to bring mobility benefits to the insurance process lifecycle. These mobility offerings, presented at its insurance client conference in Orlando, Florida, encompass mobile software applications, consulting and management services to help insurers plan, build and manage their wireless communications roadmaps.
CSC demonstrated mobile access to its business-to-business insurance social networking site, WikonnecT. This will further increase collaboration among the 10,000 WikonnecT community members. In addition, the company is developing applications for BlackBerry smartphones.
The company claimed that more than 60 potential applications for all mobile platforms, including BlackBerry, have been defined to help carriers expand options, boost self-service and reach new demographic markets in ways that benefit both agents and consumers.
According to the company, an application designed for clients of its policy administration system, enables their customers to upload accident scene photos for faster claims handling. Another application provides insurance executives with access to analytical dashboards displaying business information anytime, anywhere.
CSC added that it will collaborate with its client communities to prioritize application development and will employ knowledge and experience gained from delivering mobility offerings in other industries.
Jim Cook, president of business solutions and services organization at CSC, said: Mobile devices are the next big platform challenge for the insurance industry. CSC is uniquely positioned to lead carriers through this transition because of our credentials in other verticals and our proven track record of helping financial services companies adopt and leverage new platforms.
