Software Solutions Partners (SSP) has signed a deal with over-50s intermediary RIAS to implement its integrated insurance quotation and administration solution, Insight.
RIAS will implement the system across all areas of its business including its dual site 800-seat call centre, where it will be integrated with existing telephony systems.
RIAS, a specialist and affinity general insurance intermediary for the UK's over-50s market, provides 1.5 million telephone quotes for home, motor and travel insurance a year.
RIAS IT director Andrew Boyes said:
"After a review of the whole market, we selected SSP as our IT partner on the basis that they have the best technology and a track record of successfully delivering large scale projects."
SSP chief executive David Rasche added that in relation to SSP's fight with HM Customs and Excise over it scrapping a VAT exemption that could cost the business up to £1m (News, 7 October) "as a result of prudence", SSP reserved for the VAT impact in its 31 March 2004 year-end accounts.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
