Project | Assurity Life Insurance - ISU Document Indexing

Client Profile:
Assurity Life Insurance Company's origins are rooted in a century-long legacy of providing long-term security to policyholders, earning generations of customers' confidence and trust.

The Imaging Services Unit (ISU) of Assurity processes all paper and fax documents that come in to the company. ISU scans the paper documents and tags the scans and faxes with information like policy number and name.

Project Opportunity:
Currently, Assurity ISU uses an outdated, proprietary program from a third party provider that charges expensive license fees. Assurity would like to replace this system with an in-house solution that is more up-to-date, more easily maintainable, and doesn't require license fees, but still has a familiar interface to minimize ISU employee retraining time.

Project Solution:
The Raikes School Design Studio team is working on a replacement for the current indexing program. It is trying to minimize UI changes from the current program while still making improvements in other areas:

  • Automatic check register output to replace the current manual system
  • A thumbnail overview for quickly moving between pages
  • Processing checks and documents together

Technologies:

  • Visual Basic .NET
  • Microsoft SQL Server
