There are more insurers today vying for market share than ever before. They all look to create greater operational efficiency, reduce costs, grow their business, and enhance customer service.

With a seamless integration to existing systems, inbound/outbound reporting, and flexible payment methods, our unified approach meets the needs of today and addresses the challenges of tomorrow,” said Todd Greenbaum, President, and CEO of Input 1. "Both organizations have a deep commitment to the success of our customers. Both organizations are based on the notion that we don’t just deliver solutions, but we deliver partnerships. Moreover, our respective depth of experience in each side of digital payments cycle means that our clients aren't waiting for us to figure things out after engagement. We get it right the first time."
