AUCKLAND, New Zealand and SAN FRANCISCO, June 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EIS Group, a core and digital platform provider for insurers, today announced that Tower Insurance, a leading New Zealand general insurer, has selected EIS Group as its new core systems and digital solutions provider. EIS Group’s digital insurance platform will underpin Tower’s transformation into a challenger brand by simplifying its business and creating a new way to deliver different products and services for customers, tailored to their specific needs.
EIS Group’s platform will be used for creating new insurance products, quoting, customer self-service, billing, claims, and customer management and engagement.
