Our service centre employees don't just develop cutting-edge software. Of course, they build insurance applications like claims processing, policy administration and risk evaluation. But it's how we do it that sets us apart.
A forward-looking shop
Our strong collaborative environment allows us to design and build innovative solutions. We partner with Microsoft, which allows us to research and beta test products early in the life cycle. You'll be entering a world of .NET framework, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and web services.
Highly integrated environment
Our Technical and Application architects use Business Process Modeling (BPM) tools and processes to link technologies and applications together for seamless throughput. We emphasize re-usability and a holistic architectural approach.
