Their application of technology, which uses our business process management framework, online 'Learning Solution' and our consulting support in combination with telematic technology, will enable Ingenie to offer a product to their customers that we believe will prove to be game-changing to both the insurance companies and their policyholders. The experience within the Ingenie team and the partners involved fill us with confidence that, by 2013, Quindell's return on this investment will prove to be extremely value enhancing."
