Relationship with Unisys

Faster and more intelligent access to data is perhaps the top technology issue facing insurance companies. Unisys Corporation, through an alliance with XAware, offers insurers a cost-effective solution to better respond to these pressures. The Web-based Unisys solution helps insurers maximize their current technology investments and manage costs of many data integration, migration and consolidation projects necessary to meet today's information management needs. The joint solution is initially aimed at the following data challenges that many insurance carriers face:

Policy and Claims Migration Solution
Policy Lifecycle Integration Solution
Regulatory Compliance Solution
Single View of Policyholder Solution
Standards Enablement Solution (ACORD, XBRL, IFX etc.)

Solutions

XAware provides a unique solution that transforms information assets into rich information services which allow insurance companies to utilize information in new ways. Because the insurance industry was one of the earliest to embrace the use of computer and information technology its reliance on information from dozens of different information sources surpasses most other industries. These information sources include:

Mainframes
Text files
Non-relational file systems
Applications
Database

The XAware approach recognizes this heritage and provides a standards-based solution founded on the robust properties inherent in XML. XAware capitalizes on the deep industry knowledge that XML standards such as ACORD, IVANS, IFX, X12, HR-XML and hundreds of others provide, by using them to facilitate information integration across the insurance value chain.

Two aspects of XAware’s approach stand out:

First, XAware provides one solution for multiple integration challenges that is built to leverage the knowledge and best practices that industry standards provide.
Secondly, XAware technology is designed to leverage the interoperability, rapid deployment and flexibility that Service Oriented Architectures provide.
