Press Release Summary: Claims management software company Aquarium Claims has a
timely solution for claims companies expecting a deluge of claims around bonfire
night on 5 November.

Press Release Body: Claims management software company Aquarium Claims has a timely
solution for claims companies expecting a deluge of claims around bonfire night on 5
November. Insurers receive hundreds of extra claims every year for damage resulting
from stray fireworks, and are gearing up for a frenzy of activity over the coming
fortnight. Typical claims include broken windows, damaged roof tiles and fires to
property such as fences; car damage and burglaries are also high on the list.
Aquarium's new claims management software helps claims companies handle claims
faster, more efficiently, and with a greater level of customer service.

According to recent research by Norwich Union, November 5 is the worst date of the
year for fire damage, second only to Christmas Day, with a 50% increase in insurance
claims. According to figures from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents,
990 people across the country were treated for firework-related injuries in autumn
2005.

But fire isn't the only risk. Research shows that November 5 is also the worst day
of the year for malicious damage to cars, with claims being 40% higher, and home
theft - claims for break-ins increase by a quarter.

With the deluge of claims following bonfire night, fast and efficient handling of
claims is vital for the insurance industry. The new and improved version of
AquariumClaims claims management software makes the process simpler, smarter and
speedier for claims companies. AquariumClaims is a state-of-the-art case management
software solution specially designed for fast growth claims companies. Version 2.1
delivers even more benefits to the user, further speeding up the claims handling
process.

"The significant increase in insurance claims following November 5 makes the claims
handling task even tougher for the insurance industry. At the same time, claims
companies have to work faster and more efficiently. This is where AquariumClaims
delivers. The new easy-to-use features in Version 2.1 make it an even better
product, delivering greater simplicity and reliability to the claims handling
process," said Aquarium's product marketing director, Mark Colonnese.

AquariumClaims is designed to be quick to set up and is available at a comparatively
lower cost. It uses the latest web-based technology giving users a powerful solution
at a cost that traditional software providers cannot match.

Aquarium has set up a "60 second" online test which allows claims companies to
compare their current processes with state-of-the-art claims processing using
AquariumClaims. The test is free and confidential, and the results are emailed back
immediately to the user. Interested claims managers can take the AquariumClaims
online test at www.aquariumclaims.com.

Notes to editors
Traditional software is installed locally on the user's own server, so requires the
user's IT staff to install and update the software. By using a Software as a Service
(SaaS) model, Aquarium does away with this, taking care of installation, maintenance
and upgrading of the software as well as secure data storage. The company has also
revised its pricing model so, instead of the traditional upfront license costs,
ongoing maintenance charges and heavy consultancy set-up fees, Aquarium can offer
users faster start-up and much more flexible pay-as-you-go pricing, if they want.
