American Century Casualty Company Deploys SSL VPN-Plus(TM)
Secure Anytime, Anywhere Access Speeds Customer Service for Southern Auto Insurer
| Source: NeoAccel
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - July 9, 2007) - NeoAccel, developer of third-generation
VPN solutions, today announced that American Century Casualty Company
(ACCC) has deployed its SSL VPN-Plus solution to enable secure and trouble-free
remote access for its employees. SSL VPN-Plus will improve customer service
and satisfaction by enabling claims managers, underwriters, and appraisers
to access corporate files and upload data from field locations or their own
homes rather than waiting for the next trip into the office.
Previously, ACCC was using IPsec VPN remote access to selected individuals,
but found that the method wasn't scalable. "Responsiveness to our
customers is a key competitive advantage in our business, and by enabling
anytime, anywhere access to our network from a standard web browser, we can
significantly speed our claims operations," said Stephen Gentilozzi, IT
manager at American Century Casualty Company. "NeoAccel's SSL VPN-Plus is
the only product we evaluated that gave us the granular user access,
clientless operation, endpoint security, and the transparent Active
Directory Integration we were looking for."
With NeoAccel's SSL VPN-Plus solution, ACCC is enabling on-site appraisers
to securely upload estimates and photographs from their own laptops or
computers owned by body shops, thereby streamlining response times to
deliver a competitive and productivity advantage. Another key to SSL
VPN-Plus' selection was its ability to apply user-specific network access
to individuals based on job function without complex configuration.
NeoAccel's SSL VPN-Plus products are the only SSL-based VPN solutions that
do not degrade performance. As a result, remote users noticed response
times that were even faster than their previous solution.
"Customers like American Century Casualty are discovering that they don't
have to sacrifice performance when they move from labor-intensive,
client-based IPsec VPNs to our technology," said Michael Susai, CEO and
Chairman at NeoAccel. "By using SSL VPN-Plus, these customers can have all
the benefits of SSL VPN products with performance that's equal to or better
than IPsec."
