WHAT: In a case study format, Mr. Randall L. James will explain
      how the company streamlined its policy and correspondence
      creation and print processes by implementing an automated
      content processing solution after thoroughly examining and
      mapping their internal workflow processes. Americo changed its
      business processes by eliminating manual tasks, moving
      responsibility to its end-users and eliminating redundant
      software tools. Mr. James led the complete redevelopment of
      the technology infrastructure, including migration to a server
      based computing model that reduced the number of devices
      requiring support by a factor of 30 to 1, consolidation of 3
      data centers, the implementation of Americo's industry leading
      point of sale electronic application system, implementation of
      business intelligence systems for real-time sales reporting,
      extensive use of document imaging and workflow technology,
      electronic capture of all mainframe generation information,
      and deployment of a state of the art phone system and call
      center. Mr. James will discuss the advantages of implementing
      a scalable solution architecture built on open standards,
      integrated with existing admin systems and legacy data.
      Through the impact of this reengineering effort, Americo
      projects first year savings alone of approximately $450,000.
