Western National Selects SiSi for Data Conversion Project

Western National Insurance Group, a private mutual P&C insurer, has selected Strategic Insurance Systems Initiatives Group, an insurance technical staffing and support firm, to provide data conversion services. 

Western National Insurance Group (WNIG), had limited internal capacity to spearhead the conversion effort. Strategic Insurance Systems Initiatives Group (SiSi Group) has experience with similar projects, a knowledgeable team, and software tools, including SiSi Group’s proprietary Data Evolver data conversion software. WNIG is implementing a billing system that encompasses the conversion of both personal and commercial lines data from WNIG’s two legacy platforms. The project will be completed in phases, with the two legacy systems being handled as standalone conversion efforts.

The WNIG data conversion project will encompass all WNIG lines of business. Personal lines include auto, home, condo, renters, dwelling property, boat and motor, motorcycle/ATV, snowmobile and umbrella. Commercial lines include BOP, workers’ comp, umbrella, commercial auto, commercial package policy, crime, boiler, earthquake, employment practices liability, fire and allied lines, general liability, inland marine, and surety bonds.

WNIG knew that choosing the new billing system was only part of the battle as migrating data from the old systems was a sizable task, WNIG said. The combination of SiSi Group’s skilled staff and the software brought to the project were decision factors.
