Alec Finch Group Collaborative Portal Receives Another Accolade
Riskclick-powered BPM solution praised in British Insurance Awards
MANCHESTER, UK (June 14, 2004)
The Alec Finch Group ("AFG"), one of the UK's most highly regarded independent full service insurance brokerage groups, is delighted to announce that AF.NET, its online collaborative portal for client service, has been short listed as a finalist in the 2004 British Insurance Awards. The front office automation portal fought off very strong competition to be highly commended in two categories by the 30-person judging panel: for the Technology Award and for the Broking Initiative of the Year.
These nominations cap an excellent year for the Alec Finch Group. AF.NET, which is powered by Riskclick, the leader in Business Process Management solutions for the insurance industry worldwide, has recently won two other industry awards. The Alec Finch Group's IT strategy has already been independently recognized in the last nine months with the Insurance Age Award's coveted award for the most effective use of e-business by an insurance intermediary and then with a 2004 Financial Sector Technology trophy.
Alec Finch, Chairman of Alec Finch Group commented: "Two nominations for the British Insurance Awards, the most prestigious showcase for excellence in the insurance industry, really is the icing on the cake. Our partnership with Riskclick has borne tremendous fruit over the past twelve months, helping the Alec Finch Group slash processing costs, improve client servicing levels and fuel exceptional growth in the upper middle market sector. These nominations are a testament to our client-centric strategy and the strength of our partnership with Riskclick."
David Worsfold, Editorial Director of Incisive Media's Insurance Division, hosts of the award, commented: "The technology category really was competitive this year with almost 80 entries for the award. That the Alec Finch Group and Riskclick have been nominated as a finalist is a credit to their organizations, their strategic vision and their commitment to harnessing the latest technologies to solve real business problems. By partnering with the best technology vendor in the insurance sector, the Alec Finch Group has been able to deliver rapid value-added services to their clients and achieve tangible business benefits themselves."
