BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 25, 2006--First Notice Systems, Inc., in partnership with Netcost Claim Services and ClaimForce, Inc., today announced the Glass+ Solution, available immediately to the Property and Casualty marketplace.

The Glass+ Solution takes a fresh approach to the glass market by providing carriers with innovative pricing plans and technological advancements in workflow, performance and optional self-service claims management. The service offering is designed to eliminate potential business model conflicts and assure regulatory compliance. Glass+ combines FNS' three large-scale, fully redundant call centers and ClaimCapture platform with two of today's most advanced technology and service delivery companies, ClaimForce and Netcost. The result is a fully integrated end-to-end glass solution.

Benefits

• Reduced loss costs - Consistent and streamlined pricing that significantly lowers glass costs and improves bottom line.
• Lower administration fees - Lower costs per call by leveraging FNS' significant call center capabilities and claim-intake economies of scale.
• Better customer experience - Guaranteed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts for policyholders, and rigorous CSI and shop management programs
• Irrefutable regulatory compliance - No company owned shops in the Glass+(TM) network, and the shops don't pay to participate or to be considered preferred. All referrals are unbiased and based strictly on shop performance. Glass+ does not manufacture glass and is not owned or affiliated with any glass manufacturer.
• One-stop shopping and convenience - Completely integrated Web-based technology provides 24x7 access to real-time claim information as well as a complete suite of auto services.

"First Notice is excited to deliver a superior one-stop shopping capability to the market for both FNOL and glass claim intake and administration." said Will Fulton, President, First Notice Systems, Inc. "We believe a great opportunity exists to help P&C carriers take cost out of their current glass claims administration fees, while still ensuring superior customer service."

"Glass+ represents a fresh new approach to managing glass claims -- one in which flexibility and improved repair ratios take center stage," said Jonna Artkop, Casualty Claims, Co-operative Insurance Services.

"P&C carriers reviewing their glass administration program requirements will find substantial benefits from obtaining end-to-end services from integrated best-in-class providers," said Kimberly Harris-Ferrante, Gartner Research. "Insurers should evaluate the cost savings and efficiency benefits for comprehensive FNOL and glass services providers versus traditional glass providers and in-house options."
