Mitsui Direct Deploys Guidewire System for Claims Management
Guidewire ClaimCenter’s flexibility is helping Japanese direct general insurer experience improved operational efficiencies and enhanced functionality
ClaimCenter is enabling Mitsui Direct to deliver more cost effective and high quality insurance services
In 2012, Mitsui Direct decided to select a new auto insurance claims
management system for improved cost efficiencies and to provide high
quality insurance services against a backdrop of a changing general
insurance market and increased competition. After comparing and
considering multiple claims systems including ClaimCenter, a
self-developed system, as well as exploring the option of making a
significant upgrade to its existing system, the decision was made in
Agile methodology adopted to allow Mitsui Direct to tailor ClaimCenter to meet its requirements and business needs
In order to develop its “JTS System”, as ClaimCenter is known internally at the company, Mitsui Direct used Agile for the first time enabling it to customize ClaimCenter to suit its business requirements. A development room was established adjacent to the claims management (adjudication) department right from the outset of the implementation project, for staff from both the claims management (adjudication) and IT planning departments, allowing for a more collaborative and flexible system development process.
ClaimCenter is improving customer service due to enhanced efficiencies, the standardization of claims handling, and better insight into claims operations
ClaimCenter is enabling Mitsui Direct to:
- Better communicate with customers based on their preferences, and in turn, more quickly meet customer expectations by providing easy access to Mitsui Direct’s online customer support platform;
- More quickly handle claims due to centrally managed claims data;
- Gain better insight into auto accident claim operations to drive process and service improvements;
- Enjoy a more efficient claims intake process, specifically accident reports, through direct data input; and
- Leverage an enhanced search feature that helps to quickly find auto repair shops in the event of an accident, for example.
