JERSEY CITY, N.J., May 9, 2007 — ISO has signed a licensing agreement to provide Workers' Compensation Information Services (WCIS) to Utica Mutual Insurance Company, a leading writer of workers' compensation insurance programs. The company, based in New Hartford, New York, is a subsidiary of the Utica National Insurance Group.
Under the agreement, Utica will provide transactional workers' compensation premium and loss information from their source systems to ISO. ISO’s Workers' Compensation Information Services will compile the summary reports required by regulators and submit them on the company’s behalf to workers' compensation rating bureaus and statistical agents in the states where the carrier writes workers' compensation business. ISO’s service will ultimately need to meet requirements for Utica’s policy reporting, unit statistical submissions, and aggregate financial reports.
“ISO’s workers' compensation services will increase our efficiency and effectiveness by optimizing our time and resources for data reporting,” said Harry Dorr, Director of Data Management at Utica National Insurance Group. “The ability to use one source to produce policy data, unit statistical reports, and financial call data — where that data is consistent and balanced across all three areas — is very attractive. With ISO reporting our data, we can now focus on analyzing and utilizing our data rather than monitoring and preparing that data for submissions.”
