IT-Freedom scoops Business Partner of Year award from Aia Software

Nijmegen, 28th April 2010 – Aia Software, a leading author and developer of intelligent document composition software today announced that IT-Freedom, the insurance claims management specialist, has won Aia’s ‘Business Partner of the Year’ award for 2009. The accolade recognizes the sales success for the ITP Document Platform that IT-Freedom has achieved alongside its ongoing commitment to the partnership. New clients signed in 2009 include GHL, 1st Central, JSSL (part of the Jubilee Group) and Capricorn Mutual.

IT-Freedom has embedded the ITP Document Platform into its fully web-enabled claims management solution, ICE Claims™. Despite a challenging economic and business climate in 2009, IT-Freedom has continued to demonstrate a strong track record of engaging with insurance companies looking for effective claims management and management information software allied to efficient document production capabilities.

Christoffel Klimbie, Sales Director, Aia Software said, “Right from the start the team at IT-Freedom quickly built an impressive level of business, technical and sales knowledge around the ITP Document Platform. This enabled them to rapidly integrate ITP into their ICE suite of solutions and demonstrate the proposition to customers. The best judge of any partnership is sales success and it is on this level that IT-Freedom truly excelled in 2009. Additionally the ongoing success of their claims management software ensures that there is a steady stream of potential opportunities for the ITP Platform.”

IT-Freedom now offers the proven ITP Document Platform as their preferred solution for document production alongside the successful ICE Claims software. IT-Freedom uses a sophisticated sales demo and this now features an explanation of how the ITP platform offers complementary functionality for insurance companies that want to gain greater control of its critical business documents.

IT-Freedom previously considered further developing its own technology to boost document production functionality. Mick Sargeant, Managing Director of IT-Freedom explains why they chose to partner with Aia, “We felt a best of breed partner solution for document production would provide the best route to extending our capabilities. We evaluated a number of options and Aia’s ITP Document Platform was the clear winner on ease of integration, functionality and pricing. Amongst the key reasons why the relationship has been a success is that we both share a similar business philosophy, a single minded approach to delivering customer focussed solutions that use the latest web-based technology that can be configured to meet the precise needs of today’s demanding insurance customer.”

Klimbie concludes, “I would like to congratulate IT-Freedom on its success in the first year of the partnership. We have an open relationship that is driven by sound commercial goals and I am looking forward to another mutually prosperous year working alongside the talented team at IT-Freedom.”
