Document Management: Growth Means Efficiency For Long-Time Kansas Insurer
Farmers Mutual Insurance Company, an organization serving every county throughout the state of Kansas, has chosen Perceptive Software, creator of ImageNow enterprise document management, imaging and workflow as part of an enterprise strategy to improve efficiencies. Established in 1896 and once limited to serving only the farm market in specific geographic locations, the Ellinwood-based company now provides homeowner, farm and dwelling fire insurance coverage through a network of more than 195 independent agencies throughout the state.
By deploying ImageNow throughout its organization, Farmers Mutual Insurance Company will save time and money in areas including claims management, policy administration and underwriting, accounts payable and human resources. ImageNow will provide Farmers Mutual Insurance Company with an integrated approach to document management.
Documents are scanned or imported into ImageNow, stored in a secure repository and linked to the insurance company's insurance and business applications. By embedding access to ImageNow functionality within the screens of existing software, users can retrieve documents with a single click. Farmers Mutual Insurance Company employees will have the ability to view relevant documents the moment they are needed, instead of waiting hours or days as with manual processes.
With its flexibility and ease of use, ImageNow will enable Farmers Mutual Insurance Company to seamlessly scale the solution across all departments without disrupting existing business processes and operations. Perceptive Software will use a proven deployment methodology to implement ImageNow in a timely manner, helping Farmers Mutual Insurance Company achieve a rapid return on its investment.
"From my initial ImageNow install a number of years ago with another company I represented, it's easy to see why Perceptive Software has grown like it has," said Justin Lear, Farmers Mutual Insurance. "It is the combination of a great software suite, superb implementation methods, and exceptional customer support."
