ELIOS Forms Strategic Alliance with Blue Cod Technologies

ELIOS, the leading paperless solutions technology company for property and casualty insurance companies, has formed an alliance with Blue Cod Technologies, Inc. As a result of the alliance, both firms will recommend one another's technologies when they improve service to their customers in areas such as risk management, expense management, customer service and paperless processing of information.

San Ramon, CA (PRWEB) February 17, 2005

ELIOS of San Ramon, Calif., and Blue Cod Technologies of Marlborough, Mass., jointly announced today a strategic alliance, in which both companies will champion one another’s technologies to improve services for their customers in the property and casualty insurance industry.

Specifically, ELIOS will recommend Blue Cod to provide computer programming services that enable ELIOS’ software to run on a wide range of policy management systems for insurance companies. In turn, Blue Cod will recommend ELIOS’ technology to its property and casualty customers in need of reliable and cost-effective loss payee notification services to financial institutions.

“Blue Cod has earned the respect of insurance companies looking for a technology partner they can trust,” said Jordi Huguet, president and CEO of ELIOS. “Our two companies offer complementary services, and we share the goal of providing reliable and effective products and customer service.”

In the recently published 2005 survey by the Robert E. Nolan Company about trends in the property and casualty insurance industry, industry executives identified the following among their major concerns:

• Expense management

• Risk Management

• Customer service

• Paperless processing—in which the promise and the reality are finally converging

Both ELIOS and Blue Cod address these concerns with advanced technological services and software that handle key information processing and delivery needs at significantly reduced costs and improved accuracy when compared to in-house systems.

“This relationship with ELIOS underscores our promise to help our property and casualty insurance customers improve the efficiency of their back office processing,” said Jeff Brown, president and CEO of Blue Cod Technologies, Inc. “The electronic loss payee notification services offered by ELIOS are the perfect complement to Blue Cod’s work management and workflow solution. They are also a wonderful addition to the services offered through our policy processing outsource business.”
