VIIAD Systems, an innovative technology company that provides claims
communication tools to the workers` compensation marketplace has launched
Compass, a new web based product for the industry.

panel postings, create directories for printing or electronic distribution and

network penetration," says John Zubak, chief executive officer of VIIAD.
