HCL Completes Guidewire ClaimCenter Deployment for New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company

HCL Technologies Ltd. ("HCL"), India's leading global IT services company, today announced the completion of the implementation of Guidewire ClaimCenter® for New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company (NJM), the largest automobile and workers' compensation insurer in New Jersey. HCL assisted NJM in the configuration, integration, data conversion and claims reporting aspects of the Guidewire ClaimCenter implementation, serving as the company's IT partner and driving its transformation in claims processing.

"This was a particularly tricky project, as it required many system changes to occur in coordination with the Guidewire ClaimCenter implementation," explained Mike Carey, head of IT, NJM Insurance Group. "Throughout this project HCL was responsive and adaptable to the various changes that occurred, while remaining focused and productive. Additionally, HCL has a sharp understanding of our business processes and technology environment, which has offered us the added benefit of not disrupting our own staff during this important integration."

"With our deep experience in packaged implementations and our ongoing investment in building solution accelerators for low cost/risk implementations, we are in a unique position to offer insurance carriers the expertise needed to implement packaged solutions and assist in their business transformation initiatives," said Prasanna Satpathy, senior vice president and head, Banking, Financial Services and Insurance Group, HCL America, a wholly owned subsidiary of HCL. "Our implementation of ClaimCenter for NJM is enabling the company to streamline and reduce risk in the claims transformation process and increase value to their customers."
