Align360 Announces Partnership With System Fusion
Align360 and System Fusion Team to Provide New Features & Support to WINS Users
Richmond, Virginia - May 13, 2002 - Align360, a business and IT consulting firm, today announced their partnership with System Fusion, a consulting company specializing in software services to the property and casualty insurance industry. Through this partnership, WINS users will be able to leverage both System Fusion's deep knowledge of the WINS system and the best-of-breed practices of Align360 in systems integration, system support and enhancements, project management, and process improvement.
Together, the two companies are well-positioned to provide clients with ongoing systems support, enhancements to the WINS system's current functionality, and the development of new features to extend the life of the system. SystemFusion and Align360 are also working together to reestablish the WINS Users Group as a vehicle to exchange ideas and information amongst the user community.
According to Mike Mendelson, the CEO of Align360, "This partnership allows us to extend the experience we've developed by providing systems integration and support to property and casualty insurers around the country over the past decade. System Fusion's deep WINS product knowledge and Align360's proven industry success is a very potent combination. We look forward to the opportunity to work with System Fusion to meet the needs of WINS users."
Alex Velinov of System Fusion explains, "Our clients are eager to extend the capabilities of the WINS system. We are currently involved in several major development efforts including Automated Agency Interfaces, web-based application/policy tracking and EDI reporting. Without the backing and expertise of Align360, we would have been unable to meet the demands of our clients in a timely manner. This partnership allows us to better address the needs of the WINS community and introduce new products that are being successfully utilized in non-WINS platforms."
