WSLA Chooses CIS and Aim Management System

January 27, 2004

Custom Insurance Solutions (CIS) announced that Texas-based Western Surplus Lines Agency Inc. (WSLA) has signed a contract with CIS for the AIM Management System.

WSLA, which is scheduled to go “live” with the system in the second quarter of 2004, is a multi-product MGA with exclusive in-house specialty insurance programs, emphasizing commercial lines exposures.

Ron McElyea, president and CEO of WSLA, explained the basis for selecting the AIM solution. “WSLA has reviewed several Windows based accounting and policy administration systems over the past two or three years,” he said. “Our analysis concluded that CIS has the best system available to assist Western in accomplishing and achieving our technology goals, both near term and for the future.”

Kevin McDaniel, manager of IT at WSLA, commented, “After reviewing several software packages targeted for the MGA marketplace, CIS was found to be the clear front runner. They have a well thought out design, backed by Microsoft Technology. They utilize an open architecture, which means the product will be customizable for some time to come. AIM is also allowing us to replace our custom “quote and bind” software, effectively streamlining our workflow from submission, to policy issuance, to invoicing, with one package.”
