SubroNetwork, a tool for arbitrating disputes between insurance carriers, redefines detailed documentation of historical part availability, quality and deliverability. The four-step workflow reveals critical facts and a summary report in less than five minutes. SubroNetwork will also ensure historical part availability all the way down to local deliveries within 36 hours of the dates searched.
"SubroNetwork is like a time capsule because it literally allows subrogation specialists to go back in time to see the availability conditions on any given day in the past," said APU CEO Charles Lukens. "That's because our web-based platform, PartsNetwork, is always on, reflecting live, real-time, nationwide auto parts inventories."
For insurance carriers, SubroNetwork is both an offensive and defensive weapon. With it, insurers win more in arbitration and go to arbitration less, thanks to SubroNetwork's real-time reporting with access to detailed, accurate data.
SubroNetwork evolves rapidly thanks to insurance client input and the same nimble, agile development that is a hallmark of APU's flagship PartsNetwork, as well as its DataNetwork reporting suite.

BluePhoenix Solutions Awarded $1 Million IT Modernization Contract by a US Insurance Group
BluePhoenix Solutions (NASDAQ: BPHX), the leader in value-driven legacy IT modernization, was awarded an IDMS migration contract by a tier one Insurance Group based in the US, valued at more than $1 million.
The customer selected BluePhoenix to modernize its IDMS based application to an IBM DB2 environment on System z. The main business drivers for the modernization were:
* Lack of IDMS trained resources made it difficult to maintain functionality and, more importantly, the IDMS platform had become an impediment to new development.
* The desire to eliminate the high IDMS maintenance cost.
By modernizing the application to IBM DB2 on System z, the customer will be able to deliver new application features to users more quickly and respond to changing business requirements more effectively.
The Customer has always had a responsive, technically advanced team, and their decision to strategically address issues of costly, legacy technologies allows them to maintain this edge. BluePhoenix was chosen after a thorough, comprehensive evaluation of a large number of migration vendors and major system integrators.
“We are pleased to help our customers to reduce their IT costs from IDMS and also have more flexibility in developing and enhancing their application,” said Greg Schottland, General Manager, Legacy Modernization Division of BluePhoenix Solutions. “Their dependence on aging technologies will be eliminated.”
“We are glad the customer and BluePhoenix selected DB2 and IBM System z, the premier platform for modernizing legacy assets and creating an agile, dynamic, and cost effective enterprise architecture while providing the highest possible level of service”, said Gregory Shomstein, Enterprise Modernization Executive of IBM System z.

Five Chrysler Group LLC Vehicles Awarded 2011 Top Safety Picks by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
Five Chrysler Group LLC vehicles — the new Dodge Avenger, Dodge Journey, Chrysler 200, Jeep® Grand Cherokee and Jeep Patriot — have been named Top Safety Picks for 2011 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The IIHS annually recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting people in front, side, rollover and rear crashes based on good rating in a series of tests conducted by the Institute.
To be considered, vehicles must have available electronic stability control systems that may significantly reduce crash risks. All five Chrysler Group LLC vehicles feature electronic stability control as standard equipment for 2011.
New to the list of top safety picks by the IIHS are the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 200. In selecting the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the IIHS noted the addition of torso airbags to bolster side crash protection to the vehicle's already comprehensive list of safety features.
Also new to the list of Top Safety Picks is the Chrysler 200. The Chrysler 200 is the automaker's newest addition to the mid-size sedan segment and new to the line-up for 2011.
Both Dodge Avenger and Journey return to the list of IIHS Top Safety Picks for the third straight year. The Jeep Patriot was named a Top Safety Pick for the second straight year.
"With the addition of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 200, Chrysler Group has five Top Safety Picks in the 2011 model year. This recognition by the IIHS underscores our commitment to safety across all vehicle segments," said Scott Kunselman, Senior Vice President – Engineering, Chrysler Group LLC. "As we continue with our product transformation, we'll continue to engineer safety leadership and more capabilities into all our vehicles."
The five Chrysler Group selections employ a two-fold approach to safety, including active safety items such as electronic stability systems and anti-lock brakes, as well as passive safety features, such as head restraints for front seat occupants and supplemental side-curtain or side-seat airbags.
"Automakers deserve credit for quickly rising to meet more-challenging criteria for Top Safety Pick," says Adrian Lund, the Institute's president. "That gives consumers shopping for a safer new car or SUV – from economy to luxury – plenty of choices to consider in most dealer showrooms."
The 2011 Chrysler Group vehicles named as Top Safety Picks by IIHS are either all-new or have received significant changes for the 2011 model year.
