WINDSOR, CT, May 21, 2010 – Artizan has welcomed PaperWise to the list of document imaging providers who integrate with CSR24. The integration built between the two companies extends documents stored within PaperWise to Artizan’s CSR24 Client interface, allowing agencies the ability to share insurance documents with their clients online, through the agency website’s secure CSR24 Portal. Through this integration, more agencies will be able to take advantage of the document imaging integration offered by Artizan and provide their policyholders with an all-inclusive view of their insurance relationship, providing them with a more effective tool for managing risk.

“Partnering with document imaging providers like PaperWise, Artizan is able to provide our agents/brokers more flexibility in extending pdfs or Word documents of policies, communications, and claims history in addition to the actual policy data the CSR24 displays from their management system,” said Vincent Savarese, Executive Vice President of Artizan. “The PaperWise integration will provide a broader scope of agents the expanded capabilities we’re noticing policyholders are looking for through our single sign-on technology,” Savarese stated.

Artizan and PaperWise products are management system agnostic, allowing this compressive solution to be available to all agencies using these solutions.  An added value of this integration is it gives insurance organizations of all sizes the power to access data like never before at a price that is affordable and predictable.

“We believe this is a partnership that makes sense. Agency policyholders can now receive the benefit of both solutions simultaneously. PaperWise is driven to help agencies consistently provide high levels of service to their customers, and with this integration we can offer a truly comprehensive risk management tool,” said Dan Langhofer, CEO of PaperWise.

Both Artizan and PaperWise agree that this partnership was a simple decision to make. They both have a strong presence in the insurance industry and a large client base. Some of their common clients include Van Gilder Insurance of Denver, CO and McQueary Henry Bowles Troy of Dallas, TX. Both of these agencies realize the value of the Artizan - PaperWise partnership and are excited to utilize the new integrated features. 

“Van Gilder has been a long time user of both of these great companies’ products and sees this as a tremendous partnership leveraging solutions that continue to meet our agency needs and the needs of our clients. Mitigating risk by providing the information they need to make the appropriate decisions,” explained Tod Ashby, Senior Vice President, IT, Van Gilder Insurance.

Mike Harris, CIO of McQuery Henry Bowles Troy stated about the partnership, “We see a significant return on investment as we deploy these tools,  saving time and money by eliminating mailing and printing from the process,  yet still providing our clients visibility to key documents we want them to have access too.”
