St. Louis, Missouri – Uhlemeyer Services Administrators, Inc., a division of The Bisys Group, Inc., announced today that the organization has moved into full production on the FileHandler System for it’s Third Party Workers Compensation Claims Administration business.
Uhlemeyer’s business and IT groups evaluated a number of prominent browser-based claims administration products and in December of 2005, selected JW Software’s FileHandler System not only for its ability to provide the dynamic claims functionality required to meet and exceed Uhlemeyer’s business requirements, but also JW’s ability to ‘partner’ with Uhlemeyer to co-develop enhanced functionality designed to further streamline the claims adjudication process.
“It was a win-win for both organizations,” said Phil Warden, JW Software’s Senior Developer. “We were able to leverage Uhlemeyer’s extensive experience in the Workers Compensation market to co-develop many exciting features that are of great interest to JW’s current and new clients.”
“The greatest achievement of the project had to have been the development of the Workers Compensation Reserve Worksheet,” said Jim Wieland, JW President. “Our development team wanted to provide a comprehensive tool that far exceeded anything available on the market today. The functionality we developed allows for clients to drill-down and provide a comprehensive justification on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction level for their reserving methodology.”
“Due to the complexity of our TPA business, selecting a software partner was an in-depth process,” said Kelley Whorl, V.P. of Claims for Uhlemeyer Services. “From a data conversion, third-party interface, and custom modification perspective – we had to have the right partner in order to satisfy our needs as well as our client’s needs. JW has been dedicated to this process for the past several months with dedicated personnel and daily communication. The transition of claims administration systems has been pleasant one and we look forward to a long-term relationship with folks at JW Software.”
“This partnership with Uhlemeyer and JW best typifies our approach to the marketplace,” said Tim Cuckow, V.P. of Sales and Marketing for JW. “Our desire with each client is to move beyond the typical vendor relationship and become a business partner, with both parties leveraging each others business knowledge so as to exceed our respective goals.”
