Windsor Health Plan Selects Perot Systems for Xcelys(TM) 5.0 Payer Management
Platform
Health Insurer to Improve Flexibility and Operational Efficiencies with
Remotely Hosted System
PLANO, Texas, July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Windsor Health Plan, Inc.
and Perot Systems Corporation (NYSE: PER) today announced an agreement in
which Perot Systems will remotely host the Tennessee-based insurer's
enterprise core administrative system (CAS). The system will be converted from
the DIAMOND(R) 725 software to Perot Systems' recently released Xcelys 5.0
software, and in the process Windsor will consolidate onto a single platform,
allowing the elimination of several ancillary systems. Specific terms of the
five-year deal were not disclosed.
"With this conversion to Perot Systems' Xcelys 5.0 platform we will
achieve new levels of product flexibility and operational efficiencies,"
stated Michael Bailey, CEO of Windsor Health Plan, Inc. "The Xcelys customer
service module will also enable our team in Nashville to provide better
customer service to all of our members. We are looking forward to continuing
our work with Perot Systems."
"With the Xcelys 5.0 remote hosting solution, we expect that Windsor will
be able to more effectively serve its members, and with the continuation of
the business process services, they will experience improved processing
efficiency in key operational areas as well as additional functionality and
configuration flexibility," said Chuck Lyles, president of Perot Systems'
Healthcare industry group. "Perot Systems is proud to say that Windsor has
been a client since 2002, and this conversion is another step in the process
of continuing to build the trusted relationship that is the goal with all of
our clients."
