McCamish Systems, An Infosys BPO Company, Announces Producer Services Strategic Business Unit

Atlanta, GA - February 23, 2011

McCamish Systems LLC, an Infosys BPO company specializing in insurance and retirement business process solutions, today announced the establishment of a Strategic Business Unit (SBU) to focus on increasing market demand for Producer Services offerings. McCamish's Producer Management and Compensation System (PMACS®), which is deployed both in McCamish's Life and Annuity BPO and as a license product for three of the ten largest life carriers in the United States, will be the featured platform of the SBU. The formation of the SBU will bring increased focus to an underserved market opportunity and will also allow McCamish to leverage a significant increase in technology investments.

Celent, a research and consulting firm focused on the application of information technology, identified significant opportunities in the market space for PMACS®, in an evaluation of PMACS® last year. "Competition in life insurance has moved beyond product and into relationship management," said Mike Fitzgerald, Senior Analyst, Celent. "Products that integrate producer management and commission payment are becoming table stakes in the fight to gain distributor loyalty and grow the business. The PMACS® platform should be included in reviews of insurance distribution management systems."

"PMACS® is uniquely versatile," said Gordon Beckham, President and CEO of McCamish Systems. "It has not only operated seamlessly for years within the complex infrastructures of major carriers as a licensed product, it is also continuously enhanced and refreshed by us on a regular basis. Moreover, one of the imperatives of the SBU will be to offer deployment solutions that fit the needs of the market, not historical industry norms. McCamish will, therefore, offer the maximum range of options: license, SaaS, BPO and hybrid solutions."
