Two Leading Insurers Rollout CIC Hosted Electronic Signature Auto Insurance Solutions

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC") (OTC Bulletin Board: CICI), the leading supplier of electronic signature solutions to the insurance industry announced today that a top five US insurance carrier and a top ten auto insurance company have successfully deployed self service auto insurance solutions leveraging CIC's SignatureOne® Ceremony® Server. The solutions allow the insurers' customers to apply for and bind an auto insurance policy during a single visit to their website without any agent assistance.

The shift in current technology deployments to a Services Based Architecture enables CIC customers to rapidly customize, configure, and implement its product. For instance, one of these initial deployments was live on the customer's website in less than 90 days and received rave reviews from senior management at the carrier.

"Industry analysts such as TowerGroup confirm that the number one driver for insurance carriers in the US, North America and Western Europe, is expense reduction. Insurance companies have to reduce expenses because their premiums have been significantly impacted. They are now going on six years of decreased premiums due to competitive pressures. Based on recent events in the financial markets the carriers cannot count on investment income to make up the difference as they did in past years and therefore must now focus on expense reduction," stated Guido DiGregorio, CIC's Chairman & CEO. "Insurers offering a fully electronic and automated quote to bind process on their web portals can also significantly decrease the cycle time, improve customer satisfaction which increases acquisition rates and reduces attrition rates, and accelerate collection of initial premiums. This has been made possible with our electronic signature technology that enables the final stage of the final steps of the workflow and eliminates the need for paper processing."

The SOA design and capabilities of the SignatureOne Ceremony Server allow CIC customers to expand its usage for other products or lines of business as an integral service within their enterprise architecture. These insurers are currently integrating with other application processes and are expected to have additional products and business lines benefitting from this within the next few months.
