- Highly Accurate Zone Map Calculations – There are only two places in the world that have this type of data available and we are one of them, and the only one that provides the full gamet of BP Claim calculation that generates a claim report in accordance with the guidelines and methodologies of the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Authority that tells you what zone your claim qualifies for if any.

- Increased Efficiency and Automation of the Benchmark Calculations and Compensation Algorithms.  Our old version of the software required user intervention in choosing Benchmark Periods.  Version 2.0 automates the entire process from cradle to grave.  It's a thing of beauty.

IT Strategies Group, the consulting and software engineers behind the Oil Claim Calculator are seeing a widespread adoption of the Oil Claim Calculator®.  "We are all very excited over the release of Version 2.0 which is our first major upgrade of the software.  The original version is becoming the industry standard.  The new version reduces the time to calculate the claim even further and no longer requires any user intervention other than just entering their financial information off of profit and loss statements.  Everything is seamless, automated, and our workflow is even smoother," said Craig Sienema , Vice President of Operations for IT Strategies Group. 

"It brings me great pleasure to be part of something that not only makes me feel good about myself in the morning for helping the people that were affected by the oil spill, but to have such a revolutionary software solution to offer the legal, accounting, and claims community," said Daniel S. Jacobs , VP of Sales, IT Strategies Group.

"If you're still trying to figure out if you have a BP oil spill claim there's help for you online at the Oil Claim Calculator®. It's a game changer.  You can calculate one or more Business Economic Loss claims in a single day instead of a week.  You can do a V-Shaped Causation Test in 1 second instead of hours or days.  If you are not using this, then you may be in the Stone Age.  Think back to before Turbo Tax and other tax software solutions let you file your taxes online.  We feel that is the difference between our software and doing it with spreadsheets or on paper," said Daniel S. Jacobs , Vice President of Sales for IT Strategies Group.

The Oil Claim Calculator® was designed from the ground up by the engineering team at IT Strategies Group and tailored to the needs of those affected by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and the legal, accounting, and claims professionals that support them. This problem solving, ground-breaking enterprise software is the only automated solution on the market for oil spill claims calculations.  As a proven tool for calculating oil spill claims in a credible and time effective fashion, the Oil Claim Calculator® has been used for thousands of clients and calculated hundreds of millions of dollars in claims that resulted in successful settlement awards.  Also, stay tuned for the upcoming release of our new modules for Seafood Compensation, Vessel of Opportunity(VoO) Charter Module, and the Startup/Failed Businesses Module over the next several weeks.
