December 2007 — IBM and IPD (an IBM application partner) are pleased to announce a new packaged software solution for managing the business processes associated with Disability Claims operations. The Ultera application integrates the existing systems of record with the IBM P8 platform for Content and Process Management. Ultera provides a complete, easy to use desktop for managing claims and their associated tasks, throughout the often lengthy case life cycle. (see below for details of a webinar featuring Sun Life.)
Disability Claims Business Problem:
- Disability Specialists spend over 75% of their time searching, assembling, reading and understanding information about each case on which they work.
- Information about a case comes in many forms: paper documents, data from business systems, notes, worksheets, etc.
- Current business systems cannot be easily modified to integrate information of all types into a single �case file� view.
- Regular actions on cases are cumbersome, time consuming and error prone.
