Press Releases and AnnouncementsDORN Opens Data Services Division: Aims To Be The Top Conversion And Data Delivery ProviderOctober 14, 1998 |
[Livonia, Michigan] - October 14th, 1998 -- DORN Technology Group (DORN), a leading risk management software developer and services provider, has established a new division to convert risk and claims data for Fortune 1000 clients who want to protect their data from Year 2000 compliance threats or migrate to client server-based systems. The division will convert over 20 million claim records for more than 50 companies in the next 12 months. DORN forecasts that the demand for these services will accelerate as risk management professionals rush to comply with the new four-digit computer date standard and as they continue leveraging client server-based systems and the Internet to work more productively.
DORN's primary business has traditionally been the development of risk management software applications, with training and data conversion services supporting its products. The founding of DORN's data services unit builds on the extensive work it has already done in this area. Since 1990, DORN has converted and mapped data from more than 120 data sources, using a comprehensive tools library of over 200 programs. In the past two years, DORN has also completed over 100 data projects involving brokers, carriers and TPAs. This new division complements DORN's ongoing efforts to establish a universal claims data standard, aimed at speeding the data conversion process and reducing associated costs.
"Data conversions and data interfaces have always been a big part of our business due to the nature of claims processing and management," said Mark Dorn, president, DORN Technology Group. "We've spent millions on data services resources. By expanding our resources in this area, we expect to be the top data services provider in the risk management industry."
DORN provides software and services for the risk, claims and safety management industries. It serves one of the largest installed user bases in the industry with more than 3000 client users employing its RISKMASTER and QUEST product lines. Based in Livonia, Mich., DORN is a private corporation with projected revenues of more than $12 million this year. It employs more than 50, including five managing principals.
