Nationwide Insurance Licenses Inslaw's New Client/Server Case Management System For Claims Litigation

The Nationwide Enterprise Trial Division (NETD), which includes approximately 70 offices and nearly 800 users, will implement the new client/server generation of INSLAW's MODULAW case management software. The new system will operate on Microsoft Windows client computers and on OS/2 Pentium servers, in conjunction with the Oracle7 relational database management system.

INSLAW's track record in delivering quality case management software designed specifically for insurance claims litigation functions, coupled with their ability to address our needs in a timely manner, were among the reasons that we selected INSLAW's new client/server version, according to Elliott A. Hannum, Nationwide's Administration & Systems Director for NETD.

INSLAW's President, William A. Hamilton, issued the following statement: "The contract with Nationwide represents the first sale of the new graphical client/server generation of INSLAW's software to the property and casualty insurance industry, where INSLAW has a large installed base. INSLAW's other insurance customers will be able to benefit from the significant advantages offered by the new system."

The functions in INSLAW's MODULAW Insurance case management software include claims and litigation tracking, assignment tracking, outside counsel budget and invoice tracking, offer/demand negotiation tracking, calendar and docketing, party & expert witness indexing, timekeeping & billing, document tracking, records/file management, ad hoc reporting, and management reporting. INSLAW specializes in computer software products for legal case tracking and workflow management applications. These products incorporate advanced development tools that make it possible to adapt the standard, off-the-shelf products to meet customers' unique and changing requirements. INSLAW offers services to customize its prepackaged case management software products, but also licenses tools to enable its customers to perform their own customization. INSLAW used an object-oriented software development approach in the creation of the new client/server generation of its case management software.

INSLAW's software products are available for operation on a wide range of platforms for the claims litigation departments and special investigation units of major insurance companies, for corporate and municipal law departments, and for courts, correctional facilities, prosecutors, and other justice agencies. The INSLAW case management software is currently licensed for over 400 sites in the U.S. and Europe.
