DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/AdminSuite?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#AdminSuitelt;/agt;–FINEOS
Corporation, the market-leading provider of group, voluntary and
individual core systems for life, accident and health insurance, today
held its inaugural FINEOS
APAC Summit in the Westin, Sydney, Australia.

The exclusive event saw an engaged audience of over 100 attendees
comprised of customers from over 30 APAC regional insurers, global
partners and FINEOS staff.

The agenda was based around the theme “Transform Core Systems to
Deliver Excellent Digital Customer Experience.”

• Two FINEOS customers, QSuper
  and the Accident
  Compensation Corporation (ACC), were awarded FINEOS Innovation and
  Excellence Awards.
  • QSuper, one of the largest superannuation funds in Australia has
    recently created QInsure – a new insurance company to provide life
    insurance to its members. QSuper adapted its processes and
    approaches to align with the FINEOS APAC Life Target Operating
    Model and underlying business content to maximise the use of the
    ‘out of the box’ solution and to minimise risk, cost and time. It
    rapidly achieved this with high quality results while transforming
    the entire business and embedding the new insurance company.
  • ACC uses FINEOS to administer over 2 million claims annually for
    personal injury and accident compensation from 27 locations across
    New Zealand. ACC is successfully undertaking an ambitious
    Programme of Transformational Change across their enterprise
    utilising FINEOS as its core platform for Claims, Providers and
    Payments.
• Dr
  Martin Fahy gave the keynote entitled “The Changing Insurance
  Landscape: Delivering Flawless Execution and Transformation in an
  Increasingly Regulated World.” During the session, he examined how
  the life, accident and health insurance landscape can deliver the
  changes needed to ensure public trust and confidence in the category.
  This was Dr Fahy’s first public appearance on behalf of FINEOS after
  the announcement last week that he will be joining the FINEOS Board
  of Directors.
• Michael
  Kelly, CEO, FINEOS, announced the launch of FINEOS
  AdminSuite into the Asia Pacific market and provided a strategy

AdminSuite is the first truly component-based core product suite
developed organically and specifically for group, voluntary and
individual life, accident and health. It can be implemented on a phased
component-based basis, to initially address key pain points such as billing,
claims,

or it can be implemented as a full core suite in a single instance to
enable insurers to support new business, followed by continual migration
away from legacy systems.
