Blue Frog Solutions Implements Pending Case Solution at the Principal Financial Group


POMPANO BEACH, Fla., March 23, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Insurance technology services provider Blue Frog Solutions has completed an installation of its ADMServer Pending Case Administrator at the Principal Financial Group(r). The new system allows The Principal(r) to easily provide regular pending case status information to its marketers.

The ADMServer Pending Case module, which attaches to life insurance carriers' back office mainframe administration systems, makes it easy for life insurance carriers to keep their marketers up-to-date on the work status of pending policies. The Principal is currently sending the ACORD 2.10 Pending Case message directly to associate systems in support of their marketers. Typical recipients of the data are agency management systems, such as Agency Works, Insurance Information Technologies and BISYS.

"The Principal is pleased to be able to provide the new ACORD 2.10 message to our marketer system providers. The Principal is dedicated to providing our marketers with data and tools that make their job easier," says David Peters, Assistant Director of IT at the Principal Financial Group. "The implementation of ADMServer allows us to support Pending Case for a large number of agency management systems representing a majority of our marketer base. ADMServer also offers the potential to provide other data, such as commissions, via the same platform in the future."

"The Principal had supported previous versions of Pending Case, but the new version of ADMServer allows them to more easily support new versions as the ACORD Standard continues to progress," says Doug Massey, Blue Frog's Vice President of Insurance Services. "Blue Frog maintains all versions of the ACORD messages in ADMServer 2.0 so our clients can support new message versions as well as old versions depending on what the recipient is capable of processing. This will make managing Pending Case and ultimately other external data messaging much easier for The Principal in the future."
