About Overland’s OSITrak
Overland Solutions, Inc. (OSI) is a leader in business outsourcing services for the insurance industry. Insurance companies engage OSI to gather the information they need to underwrite property insurance. However some studies have shown that manual data collection yielded a nearly 50% error rate that cost the industry billions per year.
Aspen OSITrac gives OSI the ability to control the quality and consistency of data being captured in the field by replacing static forms (paper, Word and Excel) with SmartForms Apps to eliminate input errors, make recommendations, and guide the user successfully through the data collection process. OSITrac also enables OSI’s mobile workforce to schedule work orders, get site information, including maps and directions, and enable field teams to work on site with or without the benefit of a network connection.
“The work of this year’s winners represents some truly impressive examples of how Adobe technology is used to push the boundaries of digital expression. Work like this inspires all of us at Adobe to continue to drive breakthroughs in digital media.” Kevin Lynch, chief technology officer, Adobe Systems
