Posted on: Tuesday, 14 July 2009, 08:32 CDT

BOLIVAR, Mo., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Duck Creek Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of software and service solutions for the insurance industry, today announced that United America Indemnity Group, Inc. ("United America") has implemented Duck Creek's Policy Administration solution for a number of its Commercial ISO lines products. The PA-based carrier went live within six months with a custom Vacant Property product called VacantExpress(R), which enables brokers nationwide to rate, quote and issue at the point of sale. One month later, United America went live with the first phase of a new Commercial Auto lines product.

These solutions allow United America to add more products to a growing Commercial Excess & Surplus and Specialty Lines portfolio. Current plans are underway to continue expanding the Duck Creek solution for the array of products across the company.

Duck Creek's Policy Administration solutions provide United America with a modern policy administration system that is able to meet their aggressive performance requirements. United America is now able to leverage all facets of the new policy administration system for the implemented lines of business, including the ancillary benefits such as decreased time to bring products to market, improved data quality and accuracy, elimination of manual coding and data reconciliations.

United America's Chief Information/Administrative Officer, Ed Rafter, commented, "Duck Creek's Policy Administration solutions greatly assisted us in broadening our current product portfolio. The Commercial Auto templates provide ISO rates, rules, forms and state requirements that actually jump-started and accelerated our implementation time. The system is not only a state-of-the art policy administration system, but also introduces a common platform that United America can easily build on in the future."

Duck Creek's CEO, Steve Hall, commented, "United America is a valued customer. We congratulate them on reaching this milestone in their policy administration replacement system that supports all personal, commercial and specialty lines and that satisfies their aggressive timelines for completion. We look forward to our continued work together as they deploy more of our solutions."
