QBE Sign up for Kcenter Intranet to manage their European operationsKnowledgeCenter the market leading business process solutions provider to the Insurance and Re-Insurance industry has announced the launch of its Kcenter software product into the Insurance sector.
In addition, KnowledgeCenter has announced that they have successfully signed the first major sale of the product to the QBE Insurance Group, one of Australia's largest general Insurance and re-Insurance groups.
Kcenter is an integrated document management and workflow system designed to deliver powerful, scalable applications over an Internet infrastructure. Based on proven Microsoft technology, including SQL Server and Visual Basic, WKC is a relatively cost efficient solution that enables both Brokers and Underwriters to streamline their document management and business process (workflow) needs.
Kcenter has been selected to provide the Intranet for QBE's European operations, initially serving the 400 users based in its London office. By the end of this year the product will be rolled out to the remainder of the UK and Ireland offices, potentially serving up to 750 users. In addition to providing the Intranet, the inherent functionality provided by the product allows QBE to build DMS, workflow and collaborative solutions from a single product base.
Commenting on the acquisition of Kcenter; Paddy Byrne, Chief Information Officer of QBE said:
"We looked at a number of different products before choosing Kcentre to replace our existing document management product. It is highly configurable and combines all its features as a standard part of the package. We are delighted with the launch of the product and are planning to roll it out to the remainder of our UK and European offices in the near future."
Commenting on the acquisition KnowledgeCenter's Managing Director Kevin Osborn said;
"This is a significant win for KnowledgeCenter. QBE are acknowledged as one of the major players in the global Insurance industry and their commitment to Kcenter will provide us with a very solid background as we launch the product into the London Market".
Commenting on the launch of Kcenter Kevin Osborn said;
"This new software product provides our clients with a system that is both cost effective and highly scalable. It allows for implementations into small niche brokers and companies as readily as it supports enterprise wide implementations into large global organisations. Kcenter can be seamlessly integrated with a client's core Underwriting or Broking systems and allows for individuals or teams from different organisations and locations to work together to manage and track key business processes and documents.
KnowledgeCenter has made a significant financial and intellectual investment in the development of Kcenter, enabling users to streamline the many paper based inefficiencies traditionally associated with certain parts of the Insurance market. The product provides the Underwriter, Broker or Technician with a powerful and sophisticated, feature rich system that is able to simply integrate with their desktop and core processing systems. The new product delivers all of the information a user wants, when and where they want it providing that they have access to a web browser".
