Finance Norway chooses a solution from EDB ErgoGroup
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Oslo, 31 October 2011) Finance Norway (Finansnæringens Fellesorganisasjon -
FNO) has entered into an agreement with EDB ErgoGroup for the delivery of an IT
system used by insurance companies to assess and manage claims. The agreement
represents total contract value of NOK 37 million.
The solution that EDB ErgoGroup will deliver is known as DBS, and is a computer-
assisted claims assessment system. This system is used by insurance companies to
manage claims for damage to vehicles by assessing the cost and processing the
claim through to settlement with the customer. The system also handles
communication between insurance companies and accident repair centres. Insurance
companies use the DBS system to help manage the cost of repairs, and the system
also makes it easier for repair centres to calculate quotations for repairs and
submit these to the insurance companies.
The annual cost in Norway of vehicle repairs carried out in respect of insurance
claims is estimated to be in the region of NOK 6-7 billion. The current DBS
system processes around 580,000 repair assessments annually, and is used by all
insurance companies in Norway.
"Through this agreement, we look forward to continuing our excellent
collaboration with Finance Norway for many years to come. We very much welcome
the confidence that Finance Norway has shown in EDB ErgoGroup by choosing us as
a supplier, and I look forward to starting to work together on developing the
next generation of systems for repair assessment and claims management for the
insurance industry. Finance Norway now has access to the leading environment in
Norway for the development and management of IT solutions", says Håvard Larsen,
Head of the Solutions business area at EDB ErgoGroup.
FNO acts on behalf of the insurance companies in its customer relationship with
EDB ErgoGroup. The contract that has just been signed extends to both the
development of a new solution and management services for the solution for the
next eight years. EDB ErgoGroup will also be responsible for providing a first
line helpdesk service. The new solution will replace the system currently used
by Norwegian insurance companies, and is due to be introduced in 2013.
