An Alternative to the Big Bang Approach

So you’d like a streamlined technology solution that incorporates all your business processes, but the money isn’t there for it? Too often businesses think that technology is an all-or-nothing approach. Not so. If you consider a multi-year technology implementation plan, your business could see benefits before you’re able to adopt a full-scale solution.

Going Horizontal

Imagine investing in a technology solution that not only gives you a significant advantage in your market, but allows you to add and remove functionality and capacity as and when you see fit. That is a major advantage when you implement horizontally scalable technology, which allows you to expand on the base product’s capabilities. When you invest a technology solution that allows for such flexibility, you’re investing the ability to customize that product to adapt to your ever changing business needs.

Making the Case for Real-time Information

These days the talk is about leveraging data to transform business. And it may be true that data has its place in the improvement of a company’s profitability. But data is static and its benefits to your company are limited. The real untapped source of success is information. Here’s why.

Your underwriting process is only as good as the data in front of you. That data has a shelf life, much like most data gathered in the research and benchmarking processes. The truth is businesses evolve and markets change constantly, sometimes quite rapidly. Today’s reports are current – well, today. Tomorrow could be another story as market factors, economic influences, and claims figures change.

Cover-All Technologies Inc. Provides FY 2009 Guidance after Strong Q4

Recent Wins and Growing Base of Recurring Revenue Results in Strong Fourth Quarter; Sets the Stage for Continued Growth in 2010

FAIRFIELD, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Cover-All Technologies Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: COVR), a Delaware corporation (”Cover-All” or the “Company”), today provided financial guidance for the full-year period ended December 31, 2009.

Based upon the initial contribution of the three contract announcements in December, 2009, atop the Company’s existing base of recurring revenue, management expects to report:

                                                            Full Year          9 Months Results        Full Year

                                                            2008 Actual     As of 9/30/09            2009 Guidance

Total Revenue                                        $13.5M            $8.3M                      $13M – $14.5M

Net Income (Before Tax)                   $2.9M              $0.7M                       $2.7M – $3.3M

Operating Earnings per Share           $0.12               $0.03                        $0.11 – $0.13  

(Fully Diluted)

John Roblin, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “Cover-All will benefit from a very strong fourth quarter as we announced two new customers and a large expansion of a current customer. We were able to leverage our ability to deliver software quickly in order to book some initial revenue in 2009 with additional revenue to be recognized in 2010 and beyond as we deliver additional products and services. Our 2009 fourth quarter will be our 12th consecutive quarter of profitability and, most likely, the best quarter in Cover-All’s history. We believe that Cover-All is undervalued and is trading at a low price to earnings ratio for a company growing revenues and earnings. We look forward to sharing the Cover-All story about its true potential with investors in the coming months. As our stock appreciates, we also hope to qualify for a listing on a national securities exchange.”

“Looking ahead, we continue to expand and enhance our sales and marketing efforts,” Mr. Roblin continued. “We are also expanding our My Insurance Center offering with exciting new capabilities that make us even more competitive in the marketplace as well as creating additional revenue opportunities from existing customers. In addition, we are actively focused on additional strategic opportunities for growth.”

Mr. Roblin continued, “We expect to announce audited fourth quarter and full-year results in mid to late February, and I look forward to discussing our results and updating shareholders on our continued progress at that time.”

Compliance: Is Your Solution Up-to-date?

All too often we see companies whose insurance technology solutions have left them with critical gaps in compliance. It’s easy to understand why. Handling ISO and NCCI compliance in one market can be challenging, but if you’re a multi-state operation, it quickly becomes unwieldy. With constant changes within the regulatory realm, maintaining adherence to bureau, state and federal regulations requires a full-time staff and full-time attention to detail. Often, companies will ensure paper compliance, but make missteps within their automated processes, causing efficiency to suffer.

Putting Technology in the Right Hands

True story: Once upon a time, a third part administrator hired an IT staff and tasked it with building a comprehensive system that automated and integrated all current TPA business functions. The goal: to consolidate customer data, field nurse case information, and claims processing information into one central repository. The product took six years to build and two years to test. By the time the system was launched, the TPA staff transitioned from one legacy system right into another. While the systems were indeed consolidated, the trouble of sending and receiving data from the company’s automated system to the clients’ newer, more efficient systems caused no end of IT woes and workflow interruptions.

Cover-All Technologies Inc. Signs Two Customer Agreements

FAIRFIELD, NEW JERSEY (December 9, 2009) – Cover-All Technologies Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: COVR.OB), a Delaware corporation (“Cover-All” or the “Company”), today announced it has signed two license deals – one with an existing customer for the My Insurance Center™ (MIC) suite of products, including, NexGen Rating and Issuance and one with a former customer returning to Cover-All after several years. These two five-year contracts, in the aggregate, will generate meaningful license revenue in Q4, 2009 and license, professional services and maintenance revenue in 2010 and beyond.

The agreements are as follows:

  • A comprehensive agreement with an existing customer which had undertaken a significant effort to replace Cover-All’s legacy product.  Implementation difficulties and delays with the alternative solutions, coupled with the very significant improvements in Cover-All’s MIC platform in the last few years, led the customer to drop plans to move the business and, instead, renew and expand its relationship with Cover-All. The customer is implementing Cover-All’s My Insurance Center for all its commercial business.
  •  A large insurance carrier outside the continental United States which had left Cover-All in 2005 and, due to changing business needs, is returning its business to Cover-All.

John Roblin, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “We are delighted to have these two important customers – customers we have known for many years — renew and expand their relationship with Cover-All by licensing MIC.  These contracts underscore a period of tremendous activity for Cover-All, and further validate the progress we have been making in improving our product offerings and expanding our market presence. I am particularly gratified that these wins are for customers who had already tried competing solutions but, in both cases, decided to renew and expand their relationship with Cover-All.”

Mr. Roblin continued, “Our entire team is working diligently to implement a portion of these projects during the fourth quarter, which would result in our recognizing a portion of the license fees before the end of 2009.  We expect to complete the implementations during 2010, resulting in additional license, professional services and maintenance revenue.”
