Nous Infosystems
Transforming Insurance Enterprises with Digital Solutions

Technology is revolutionizing the insurance sector—Telematics, IoT to autonomous vehicles and advanced safety control mechanisms— all producing more data affecting the underwriting and claims process than ever before. According to 2016 Novarica Surveys of Insurer CIOs data and analytics is the most important issue for business users today followed by social media marketing, digitalization and enterprise mobility. A direct outgrowth of these issues requires the need to logically present and visualize data through business intelligence and reporting to make informed decisions. “Technology is reshaping insurance landscape, in the process increasing the demand for solutions to remain competitive and profitable,” says Ajith J.Pillai, President and CEO, Nous Infosystems. “Nous assists firms to increase their speed to market and effectiveness with Digital Transformation and Software Product Engineering, which go hand in hand with help from Nous’s independent test and validation company Testree.

Over the last decade, Nous has built a robust insurance practice in P&C, Life Insurance and Annuities, and Reinsurance—with key focus areas being Policy Administration and Servicing, Claims and Underwriting, Reinsurance processing, and customer 360-degree analytics.

Nous’ Independent Verification and Validation division - Testree, with deep experience in insurance software testing is uniquely positioned to provide the comprehensive technology and quality services demanded by the Insurance Industry. Testree’s Technology Testing division focuses on Automation, Performance, and Mobility Testing to increase enterprise agility.

The company’s clientele in the insurance space includes Fortune 500 and mid-sized companies. In an instance, Nous’s expertise came in handy in supporting a leading international general insurance firm. Nous helped the firm to scale their business meeting market needs, reduce manual errors by 80 percent and increase productivity by 30 percent. The client was using several legacy applications such as the claims management system and the risk management portal, which had become rigid over time and could not scale to meet the needs of the business. Nous implemented a state-of-the-art claims management system along with a built-in pricing engine, a business rule-driven rating engine to automate premium rate lookups and a rule-driven customized CRM application, which integrated with their existing applications.

It is pertinent to mention that Nous is very technology focused and has an internal elite team called TAG (Technology Advisory Group) consisting of the best minds in the organization providing technology oversight on all active engagements. Over the next few years, Nous will continue to consolidate its position in the market as an innovative IT services and solutions company while expanding its geographical footprint to include other parts of the world “We will continue to invest in R&D and build competencies in new and exciting areas of information technology,” concludes Pillai.
