Our Technology Delivers Business Agility

Our technology sets us apart. We believe that only three to four vendors in the market have a modern, multi-tiered architecture that can be configured as rapidly as ours. Of these, we believe our technology aligns better with the business of insurance and can be tested more thoroughly and deployed with greater confidence across all insurance operations. 

The technology choices we made in creating SurePower Innovation were to create a system that supports an ever-changing business environment.

A Toolkit for the Business of Insurance

Our technology includes a complete set of tools with development methodology, techniques for successful project completion and an extensive library of reusable insurance "building blocks."

Modular & Standards-based

SurePower Innovation's modular structure enables a flexible approach to incorporating other solutions and leveraging of legacy technologies. By using XML and open industry standards, SurePower Innovation modules are completely plug-and-play with other modules and systems and can easily interface to other vendors' products and services. SOA gives SurePower Innovation its modularity for ease of maintenance and an industry-standard way to easily interface with other systems and services.

Our philosophy is to use industry standards such as XML, ACORD standards. Web services standards enable connection with third-party data sources such as ChoicePoint, VinMaster, Address Verification, Google Maps, etc. 

IT Workgroup Friendly

Teamwork, collaboration and the iterative approach of agile software development are core ISCS values. Our technology has integrated source management with strong teamwork and collaboration control. The technology enables the fast turnaround of results that makes the user review of agile development possible.

Robust, Stable

SurePower Innovation is field-proven and continually run through thousands of automated functional and regression tests.

Future-proof

SurePower Innovation is on a standard, scheduled release cycle that is very well documented. Our environment makes deployment of upgrades much easier than most customers have experienced.

No Proprietary Code

We chose Java as the programming environment because it runs on all major manufacturer equipment and operating systems; its millions of programmers provide a readily available talent pool; and it is robust and easily supported.

Access to the Source Code

We even give you access to the source code, standard with your license. You may never need to touch it. But it does give you peace of mind and gives us even greater incentive to write clean code that we are proud of. And we have clients that would call us on it if we didn't.

Hardware & Software Agnostic

Multiple OS Options

    » Linux  » UNIX  » Windows  » IBMi... and others

Multiple Database Options

    » Microsoft SQL Server   » MySQL   » Oracle   » DB2/UDB   » other SQL
       variations... and others

Multiple Server Application Options

    » Apache Tomcat  » JBoss Red Hat  » IBM  » WebSphere... and others

This provides you great flexibility and control over the number of licenses, associated costs, and extensibility.

Secure

SurePower Innovation's Model-View-Controller Architecture (MVC) prescribes centralized control and command of all application features and presentation. By design, all business modules and their logic are stored centrally but separately from the devices used to access them. MVC allows users to access critical business functionality from almost anywhere using browser-based HTML forms, Adobe PDF forms, and wireless devices such as cell phones and PDAs. MVC's central control of security features prevents unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Scalable

SurePower Innovation is scalable from very small to incredibly large installations. The multi-tiered architecture allows for a very horizontally scalable environment.
