Kemper Auto and Home Licenses Myriad's Property Inspection and Underwriting Technology

November 14, 2006 Austin, TX - Myriad Development, Inc. is pleased to announce that Kemper Auto and Home (KAH), a subsidiary of Chicago-based Unitrin, Inc., has chosen to license Myriad's Risk Manager property inspection system. The Risk Manager technology will allow KAH to improve property inspection service time and efficiency, as well as perform more comprehensive underwriting analysis through increased access to inspection data.

"KAH focuses on making relationships between policyholders, agents and the company both positive and life-long," said Patrick Madigan, Assistant Vice President of Underwriting. "By implementing Myriad's Risk Manager technology into our inspection workflow, we see the opportunity to improve our process and support our mission of being an all-around service company."

The new process enables KAH to improve its inspection workflow and transition all points in the process - ordering, receiving, analyzing and reporting - to one technology platform. This will help KAH manage its multi-vendor and loss control inspection program, and create an environment with consistent inspection data. Using the increased access to data, KAH plans to better evaluate risks and improve productivity and business performance.

"We are looking forward to the KAH-Myriad partnership," says Chris Roussel, CEO of Myriad Development. "Kemper Auto and Home is a trusted brand in the industry, and we are very pleased that it has chosen to integrate the Risk Manager system into its property inspection business."
