An insurance carrier that writes approximately $150 million in premium is by no means considered a large insurer, but companies of that size—including Pennsylvania Lumbermens Mutual Insurance Company (PLM)—often operate in niche markets.
PLM insures lumberyards and building material dealers, writing all commercial lines products in all 50 states.
"Trying to keep up with the ISO content with the forms and rates was a huge issue for us," says Joseph M. McGurrin, Jr., vice president information technology for PLM. "Everything was done somewhat manually. We had a COBOL-based mainframe system and we needed to move away from that."
