"At Harleysville Insurance, we have made tremendous progress during the past few years in using technology to make it easier for our agents to do business with us," commented Michael L. Browne, Harleysville's president and chief executive officer. "We're pleased that we've been recognized for the efforts of our talented professionals. Our ranking near the top of the InformationWeek 500 validates the course we've taken to implement innovative technology that will best serve our employees, agents and policyholders."
During the last few years, Harleysville has introduced a number of key strategic technology initiatives with ease of doing business in mind.
In 2006, Harleysville introduced its new agent portal--accessHarleysville(SM)--which provides frequently needed information regarding agents' accounts, policies and billing information, as well as access to rating, quoting and policy issue systems for commercial lines, personal lines and life insurance business.
In 2007, the company launched a new personal lines policy administration system that allows agents to rate, quote and issue new personal auto and homeowners policies, and to issue endorsements. That same year, the company began rolling out its new commercial lines policy administration system, which delivers new and improved products, and facilitates rating, quoting and policy issue processes in a real-time mode. This new platform also integrates predictive modeling for risk assessment, and incorporates an underwriting rules engine.
Both the personal and commercial lines policy administration systems are accessible through the accessHarleysville agent portal.
