Many insurance companies experience difficulty keeping paperwork organized. Some employees may spend hours searching for paperwork and documents that should be available on-hand. These hours spent searching for paperwork that already exists could be used much more productively. For this reason, software companies have developed systems to aid insurance companies in streamlining their workflow and maintaining efficiency.

Image Process Design Solutions is a software development company based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Founded in 1991 by Steven Racine, it has offices distributed across North America.

In 1991, IPD began developing business process applications for insurance companies specializing in disability, life, health, and property and casualty insurance. IPD recognized the need of the insurance industry to have business process software that did not require customization. The solution was to create a product that can be configured to the needs of each individual business. Their out-of-the-box insurance software can be tailored to the specific needs of each company, reducing the time it takes to design a custom software application.

Image Process Design recognized the need for software that could be tailored to the specific areas of insurance coverage. Health care software involves individual, group, senior, and pharmacy insurance, while the life insurance software includes individual, group, disability, and annuities. IPD's software also includes many different business areas in order to make the software as customizable as possible.

Solution Suite was produced in 1995 and was the first client server version of the software. This version of the software allowed companies to streamline their work processes and eliminate unnecessary paperwork. This allowed businesses to become more efficient and productive, reducing the amount of time required to finish routine processes.

Ultera was introduced five years later in 2000 and is designed to optimize insurance business functions. Innovated to automate insurance processes, Ultera is configurable to the needs of each individual business, providing customers with software that is tailored to their specification without having to customize their own application.

In addition, Image Process Design provides a variety of types of customer support. When the software is first distributed to a client, IPD provides extensive training and explanation of how the software can be utilized.
