ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OpenSpan, Inc., a provider of innovative worker optimization, activity management and automation solutions, today announced that adoption of the OpenSpan desktop automation solutions is accelerating within the property and casualty insurance and healthcare claims automation arenas, represented by several significant customer acquisitions over the course of fourth quarter 2012 and first quarter 2013.
OpenSpan solutions are being deployed in contact center, front and back offices, and healthcare claims management areas of these enterprises to automate manual work activities and reduce redundant data entry for faster processing. Within the contact center, OpenSpan desktop automation streamlines workflows and creates efficiencies gained by eliminating the need for agents to navigate between disparate systems, resulting in a more positive customer experience. Healthcare claims management organizations deploy OpenSpan solutions to gain operational efficiency by processing pending claims at a fraction of the cost of manual processing.
“With the advent of the Affordable Care Act, healthcare claims organizations are challenged with the forthcoming increase in claims volume, as well as how to manage the associated processing costs,” commented Rod Dunlap, vice president, insurance solutions at OpenSpan. “Many of these organizations still process claims manually, so with this increase in claims volume, they are realizing that technology like OpenSpan will be critical to ensure processing rates are optimized and cost management is regarded top priority.”
“Insurance organizations – both in healthcare and property and casualty – are focused on driving market differentiation by delivering seamless transactions and interactions from the back office to the contact center and front office environments to improve the customer experience,” said Anna Convery, executive vice president, strategy at OpenSpan. “When your representatives deliver exceptional customer service for each transaction at each interaction point, it creates loyalty and builds the relationship required to retain and grow the customer base in today’s frenetic marketplace.”
