Developing Business Solutions

With annual revenue of more than $250 million, American Interstate Insurance Company (Amerisafe) underwrites workman's compensation insurance in 42 states. And when the Louisiana-based company needed software developed to integrate its numerous information systems, it turned to Forté for effective solutions.

"Forté's staff brings to the table all the best aspects of a consultant," said Amerisafe's Chief Information Officer Martin Gilmore. "They know the inner workings of our system," Gilmore said. "Forté staff cross-trains our people and takes care of the more complicated maintenance issues of our system."

"Forté has the talent we rely on most!"

Amerisafe's ICAMS system links the company's varied departments which were previously using different software. Forté staff has been involved in expanding ICAMS for the past four years, including helping standardize the company's business processes.

Using strategic outsourcing has helped Gilmore and Amerisafe control development costs.

"Consider the true overhead of adding staff for such high-level development," said Forté Senior Consultant John Huddleston, "we can be an extremely cost-effective solution."

"Forté has the talent we rely on most," Gilmore said.
