Kemper Looking to Web-Enable Agent Applications

Looking to meet future business goals, Kemper Insurance Companies is leveraging its information technology infrastructure, managed by Tivoli Enterprise from Tivoli Systems Inc. Kemper’s goal is to Web-enable legacy applications to give agents online access to applications supporting quoting, rating and policy underwriting.

“Insurance is a very information and data intensive industry,” said Mike Gibbs, director, LAN Engineering and Support, Kemper Insurance. “Everything we do is data driven. We need to have the right applications and data at the right people’s fingertips to make the decisions they need to do their jobs. In the distributed environment, we realized that we needed to automate processes we once did manually, reduce labor costs and ensure that information is available across the enterprise.”
