Overview
Insurance organizations operate in a highly competitive market in recent years.

Document Management

This provides data consistency, saves time and minimizes the risk of data loss for both newly attached and existing documents.
Usability and Collaboration

Each organizational object (policy/template/and so on) has its own dashboard where users can dive in the deepest level of functionalities and data, depending on their role and rights.
The workflows are pre-defined sequences of tasks, as the result of each task defines the direction for the flow and respectively the generation of the next task. The tasks are defined with a tool, based on the Business Process Modeling
Notation (BPMN) standard. The workflow organization minimizes the risks of skipping a step/task of the process execution.
Adequate and on-time employee reaction is important for the business. Automatic e-mail notification has become a standard software functionality lately, and the users are properly informed when they have to take some actions in the system or just to receive information about other users actions.
