InsuranceNow met or exceeded all of the performance and implementation timeline criteria we were looking for,” said James Hallberg, Chief Executive Officer, Warrior Invictus Holding Company, parent company of FCIC and USH&C. “Increasing our technological agility will allow FCIC and USH&C to enter new states and introduce new rates and products to the market with greater efficiency. This strategic investment allows us to pursue an ambitious business model without having to dramatically increase our workforce.”

Its superior cloud architecture has a holistic, uniform approach of methods across modules, offering a faster, more seamless transition and straightforward maintenance moving forward. This will enable us to reorganize our workflow structure to free up resources and streamline productivity. The integration of an All-in-One solution is invaluable, as it provides a single application to handle all of our core operations, while offering data integrity and a strategy to deliver on modern APIs.”
