HELSINKI -- (Business Wire)
Accenture
(NYSE:ACN) has won a public tender and signed a four-year framework
agreement with the Finnish State Treasury to develop and maintain a
range of IT applications that support the State Treasury’s effort to
digitalize its claims management system and enables the State Treasury
to further improve and expedite its claims service.
Under the agreement, signed 14 January 2015, Accenture will develop and
maintain new functionalities, expand the processing scope of the claims
system to cover additional insurance products, and integrate online
services into the service processes. Accenture will also help the State
Treasury upgrade its claims system and implement statutory updates. The
State Treasury’s claims system, which is based on the TIA Technology®
end-to-end integrated core solution, was implemented in 2012, and
currently processes statutory work and military accident insurance
claims and payments.
“Accenture has the extensive experience in insurance claims management
systems that we needed and a deep understanding of the TIA software in
particular,” says Jyri Tapper, director, Insurance, at the Finnish State
Treasury.
The Finnish State Treasury is a multidisciplinary government agency that
develops internal corporate services for the central government, such as
financial and personnel administration. One of its key functions is
providing benefits and compensation for citizens and institutions. It
handles compensation to criminal liability and military injury customers
as well as compensation for occupational and military injury and traffic
accidents for which the government is liable.
“The Finnish State Treasury is a very important client for us, and the
framework agreement is a significant step in our co-operation. Accenture
offers an optimal combination of in-depth insurance, methodology and
technological capabilities to fit the State Treasury’s needs,” says
Marko Rauhala, managing director for Accenture’s Health & Public Service
business in Finland.
“The claims process represents the quintessential ‘moment of truth’ for
any insurance customer,” said Risto Sandberg, managing director for
Accenture’s Insurance practice in Finland. “It’s where an insurance
provider is put to the test in terms of its ability to delight or
disappoint the customer. We are proud to team with the State Treasury
and help the agency further enhance its compensation services.”
