Chatham, ON (July 1, 2019) \u2013 Kent & Essex Mutual Insurance Company (K&E) has successfully launched Cognition+, a web-based insurance enterprise platform, in production as a further step in their company\u2019s digital transformation strategy. Cognition+ provides a number of immediate benefits:<\/p>\n
Over the longer term, Cognition+ provides heightened access and insight into the company\u2019s data, optimizing data entry and retention while enabling real-time transactions with third parties. The Cognition+ solution works in tandem with K&E\u2019s current implementation of the Insurance Business Solution (IBS), which has allowed the automobile team to be the initial team to adopt in production.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Kent & Essex team has been a great partner in the implementation of Cognition+ for their automobile line of business,\u201d said Randy Straeten, President & CEO of Cognition+. \u201cThrough the successful \u2018go live\u2019 of this project, we\u2019ve been able to validate a number of key deliverables. First, both Cognition+ and IBS are successfully running in harmony, allowing for a very smooth transition as we migrate our clients across all functional business areas. Secondly, we\u2019ve confirmed the best practice processes and user workflows are optimizing the user experience, and streamlining the work. Thirdly, the introduction of task management and \u2018save as you go\u2019 functionality is driving efficiency, with improved data quality and retention. Finally, it has validated the non-functional requirements for performance, security and scalability in a production environment. The K&E and Cognition+ teams have worked tirelessly to ensure a great user experience on \u2018go live\u2019, which will help us with our plans for rolling out to 11 more of our companies in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a mutual insurer, we know the importance of modernizing our business processes so that we can meet the needs of our mutual members and our community while remaining cost-effective and competitive,\u201d said Kevin Konecny, President & CEO of Kent & Essex Mutual Insurance Company. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a long-term relationship with Cognition+ with our successful \u2018go live\u2019 of the IBS in 2007, which has helped to ensure the growth of our mutual. Cognition+ has shown strong leadership through development of this next generation of software, and I am proud of the work our team at Kent & Essex Mutual have been doing to confirm that this meets the needs of mutual insurers and their members. We are focused on the Digital Consumer Experience as this is core to meeting our brokers and members\u2019 needs today, and into the future. Our core platform must allow us to leverage other technologies to assist our members as rate cannot always be the solution. Cost efficiency, analytics and loss prevention will be the differentiators as technology continues to progress and as we continue to see changes in the weather patterns. We\u2019re confident that the team at Cognition+ in conjunction with our team at Kent & Essex are up to providing solutions for these challenges as we transition our whole business to the Cognition+ platform.\u201d<\/p>\n
