News/Announcements E-Claim.com, LLC Awarded Top New Technology Product of the Year The Louisiana Technology Council and Greater New Orleans, Inc. announced the winners of the "eWARDS," the annual awards that celebrate and recognize innovation and achievement for those who have made a positive impact in the technology field for our area in the past year. "We are very excited and pleased to be honoring a diverse group of individuals and businesses that are making an important contribution to our city and our region," said LTC President Mark Lewis. E-Claim.com received the Top New Technology Product of the Year award for its ClickClaims suite of products, including C2Doc and C2Trak, web-based Document Management and Claims Management Systems built from the ground up for high-volume property claim operations. "Three years ago, we saw a need in this industry and went after it. We work closely with our clients and focus on ways to not only improve their business, but the industry as well," said Thomas Brown, President and founder. "ClickClaims is truly an innovative product in the fact that it was specifically designed to manage the extremely challenging area of catastrophe claims. Our product takes several days off the claim cycle times, so insureds get their claims paid faster. At the end of the day, if you can do that, you will be successful." "With technology making its way into most areas of insurance, we saw that catastrophe claims management wasn't catching on as quickly," said Niki Arena, lead programmer. "And the need was definitely there, especially considering how quickly the catastrophe claims process evolves. Using paper just doesn't make sense anymore." ClickClaims products proved its value in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, by providing claims adjusters and carriers 24/7 web-based access to Katrina-related claims. Thousands of claims were processed quickly and efficiently thanks to E-Claim.com's applications. E-Claim.com has since won three awards for its web-based applications.
