CCIA - Blue Hill Podcast

Hear this lively conversation hosted by Tom Keepers, President and CEO of the CCIA, Consumer Credit Industry Association. Tom speaks with two members of Blue Hill’s management team: Donna Bahnfleth, Director, Client Services, and Rosary De Filippis, Chief Marketing Officer.

Learn how the CCIA and Blue Hill/XyberNET shares their vision of unwavering support for members of the insurance industry.

A free offer is included for all members of the CCIA to receive a free, no cost, business value assessment of their IT systems, which is a feasibility study to determine if costs could be reduced and/or improvements can be made. It is a Proof of Concept to understand if benefits can be derived, prior to launching an actual project.

Included is an overview of Blue Hill’s services and capabilities, how a client can best have their IT legacy systems supported, a discussion about technical debt, and how Blue Hill’s insurance clients have benefitted from their relationship with Blue Hill. The discussion centers around the emphasis on culture and how important it is to build a solid relationship; specifically, how each team member strives to act as an extension of each client’s IT department, ensuring each receives unwavering support. “Sooner or later, an end user will have an IT problem, and they will not care whose problem it is, just that it needs to get fixed. It’s in our DNA to always go above and beyond to fix what needs to get fixed.”
