River
Run Software Announces Strategic Relationship with ADP Claims Services
Group
Stamford,
CT, December 3, 2001: River
Run Software, an industry leader in creating mobile workforce solutions, announced today that ADP Claims Services Group, the leading provider of automated information tools for the property and casualty insurance and vehicle repair industries, has selected River Run Software's Dispatch and Wireless Notification Technology as a key component of ADP's new and innovative Claims Gateway solution.
ADP's
Claims Gateway is a group of services that provides a communication
link among all parties in the automotive claims process, including
insurance companies, independent appraisers, collision repairers,
automotive recyclers, and their vendors. It helps manage customer
claims and bring them swiftly to resolution, reducing cycle time and
its associated costs.
When a policyholder calls an insurance company with a vehicle-related
claim, a great deal of effort is spent retrieving, organizing and
relaying claim-related information to all the business entities associated
with processing the claim. It is in everyone's interest that the claim
be processed as quickly and expeditiously as possible. One of the
most critical areas in making this happen is in the proper identification
and assignment of the right people and companies to help process and
close the claim.
River Run Software's MobileSphere collaborative software solution
enables enterprises with mobile workforces to automate and manage
their field service processes from initial work creation to final
resolution. MobileSphere has at its core an intelligent dispatching
and notification component with sophisticated business rules that
are user-configurable. Customers have the flexibility of deciding
in a real-time environment which method they will use - whether manual,
expert-assisted or automatic - to select and assign, notify and then
schedule the appropriate business entity for handling its portion
of the claim.
It is the collaborative nature of MobileSphere and its built-in Dispatching
and Wireless Notification Technology as well as River Run's demonstrated
expertise to deliver large-scale solutions that led ADP to decide
to use River Run's Technology in the Claims Gateway solution. Hinda
Chalew, vice president of product management for ADP's automotive
claims services, said "ADP is committed to investing in state-of-the-art
technology such as Claims Gateway to deliver excellent products to
our clients. We selected River Run Software because we believe they
have the expertise to deliver an intelligent dispatching solution
to our market."
"We are very proud and excited to be working with the ADP Claims
Services Group to deliver a leading-edge technology product,"
said Dr. Trilok Manocha, Founder and President of River Run Software.
"Our strategic relationship with ADP is consistent with our strategy
of working with the best companies in the world to offer a new generation
of powerful applications to the marketplace."
