Wed, June 3, 2009 Wave Systems Corp.: Media Advisory: eSignSystems to Demonstrate How Electronic Signatures Can Help Insurers Improve Performance
LEE, MA and ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - June 3, 2009) - (2009 IASA Annual Educational Conference & Business Show, Booth # 1423) -- Wave Systems Corp. (
Problem: Insurance companies spend a significant amount of time and money processing the applications of new customers. Prospective insureds must sign multiple documents -- including the application and separate consent forms in order to complete the application and underwriting process. Traditionally, these forms are signed with an insurance agent or broker present, then mailed or faxed back to the carrier's home office, before underwriting can begin.
Solution: By enabling potential insureds to electronically sign their applications and forms online, insurers can eliminate the costs associated with overnight mailing and faxing, as well as reducing the cycle time for policy issuance. This electronic process can increase closure rates and significantly decrease customer acquisition costs -- approximately 2/3 less than the traditional offline acquisition costs, according to a report issued by Forrester Research last year on the costs of eBusiness operations and customer acquisition.
"Electronic signatures can offer tremendous advantages for insurers seeking to reduce costs on processing applications from new customers by increasing 'front end' operational efficiencies," said Kelly Purcell, executive vice president for Wave Systems' eSignSystems division. "In addition, we believe that many of today's consumers are increasingly more comfortable conducting transactions online, and this extends to the purchase of insurance."
What: An electronic signing room application developed for the insurance market available as part of the eSign Transaction Management Suite, which enables insurers to securely deliver, track, sign and store documents electronically.
