STATE COLLEGE, PA, January 30, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Optical Image Technology, creator of the DocFinity suite of imaging, document management, and BPM/workflow software, announces that Municipal Mutual Insurance Company of West Virginia has successfully implemented DocFinity at its headquarters in Wellsburg. The software solution was installed to address inefficient and costly storage of paper documents, reduce administrative overhead in processing new and existing business, and expedite customer service. Municipal's eighteen-member staff services 35,000 active policies for customers in Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
Currently, the company manages its business almost exclusively with an AS400 mainframe system and paper documents that were stored in buildings the company had purchased within a two-block area of the city. Electronic document management will enable Municipal Mutual to become more cost-efficient, eliminating processing delays and customer callbacks as well as enhancing the quality and speed of its services to customers. Now, employees are beginning to scan, index, and store policies in DocFinity, accessing files and documentation securely from their desktops, and processing work with the added convenience of dual monitors with 19-inch screens.
A local opportunity center that provides work opportunities for persons with physical and mental challenges shredded Municipal's first 5,000 bankers' boxes of paper documents. Next, Municipal plans to convert all active policy and claim files to electronic documents to further improve efficiency and reduce needed storage space. Paperless Technologies, a subsidiary of Ford Business Machines in Connellsville, PA, is expected to complete a bulk scanning process during 2010.
