NEW YORK, NY – April 17, 2001 – DWL Incorporated, a leading transactional e-solutions
company, today announced they are working with The Dominion of Canada General Insurance
Company on their first phase of a Web-enabled policy management system for their brokers.
Built on DWL Unifi™, a transactional e-enablement platform, the solution will
consolidate The Dominion’s current policy administration systems into a unified and intuitive application
that is accessible through a Web browser, which will dramatically increase usability.
The implementation of DWL Unifi will provide The Dominion of Canada’s more than 800 brokers
with a single point of entry for managing policies, resulting in improved customer service and broker relations.
“The primary goal of this initiative is to create ease of use for the brokers that
The Dominion of Canada conducts business with,” said Alan Hanks, Vice President,
Field Operations, The Dominion of Canada. “Brokers have been accessing our systems
and communicating with us in a number of ways. This project serves as an effective way to
upgrade the technology and create a ‘once-and-done’ environment for The Dominion of Canada
brokers to make policy and billing inquiries and policy and billing changes.”
In addition to refining and dramatically improving the effectiveness of its policy
management processes by bringing them online, DWL Unifi also enables The Dominion of
Canada to enhance the functionality of its existing transactional services for front
office users and service providers. It will allow them easy and secure access to Web
content, applications and information in a consistent framework providing a seamless,
customized, branded image to multiple audiences.
“It is very important for us to have a solution that brings us to market quickly and
provides a solution that addresses the brokers’ workflow,” adds Hanks. “In
addition to DWL’s solution integrating well into our framework, the company also has established
credentials in the insurance industry – this was critical in our decision to implement Unifi.”
“For more than 100 years, The Dominion of Canada has been known for its high quality
service,” said Justin LaFayette, president and CEO, DWL. “The Dominion’s
Web-enabled policy management solution will eliminate much of the previous administration
duplication process and give brokers more time to spend on actual client issues and policy maintenance.”
