November 24, 2009: Eurobase Insurance Solutions, a leading independent software and services provider to the worldwide insurance market, has joined forces with Touchstone Group, a leading independent provider of finance and accounting applications in the UK, to provide an end-to-end insurance underwriting and accounting software proposition. The partnership brings together Eurobase's underwriting application, Synergy which has technical accounting functionality embedded as standard and Touchstone's powerful SunSystems financial accounting application, offering seamless integration between the two.

This new offering provides a fully integrated technical and financial accounting solution, which gives users a single view of the complete customer account. Financial information is processed seamlessly and in real-time, ensuring complete transparency and traceability across the enterprise.

Maryann Fitzgerald, Sales Director, Eurobase Insurance Solutions, comments, "The current economic downturn, increasing regulation, changes in accounting practices and the adoption of international legal and fiscal standards are driving the need for greater transparency across the sector. The availability of real-time operational data across an organisation supports better-informed decision making, maximises the effectiveness of capital and ensures efficiency and transparency across the entire business portfolio". We look forward to working with Touchstone in both our domestic and international markets.

Les Jones, General Manager of Touchstone's SunSystems division, comments, "Eurobase is a well-established and respected international supplier of underwriting solutions and through the unique combination of our business applications and our management and operations consultancy services teams, we have a totally integrated solution that offers maximum availability and efficiency for our current and prospective clients."
