Chubb Licenses FJA's Product Machine


NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - November 10, 2009) - Chubb Group of Insurance Companies has licensed the FJA-US Product Machine to re-engineer the policy administration system behind its Masterpiece® personal insurance product line. The Product Machine is the cornerstone of a multi-year collaborative modernization effort.

Masterpiece® meets the needs of affluent consumers by helping to provide protection against losses to high-value residences, private passenger and collector vehicles, valuable articles and watercraft, as well as excess liability. Product modelers are using FJA's Product Definition System to define coverage availability, control limits and deductibles, implement product rules and define rating calculations for Masterpiece® in all 50 states.

Then business application integrators use the Product Machine SOA compliant services to access the product information to accomplish important business tasks, such as policy administration functions Quote and Endorsement.

"The Product Machine will enable us to externalize all product rules and rating, allowing us to be even quicker to market," said Drew LaGravenese, senior vice president, Chubb Personal Insurance.

This is the second system Chubb has modernized using FJA's Product Machine. In 2008, Chubb used FJA's Product Definition System to model its yacht product and FJA's Product Machine Services to drive the product's policy administration functions.
