Abstract
This article examines the use of groupware to re-engineer a business process. The process concerned is the claims handling process within a large insurance organization. The benefits of the new process are quantified and the project is placed with in the context of recent discourses on the role of IT in re-engineering projects. A simple framework is proposed as an analysis tool and the article concludes that the project has delivered considerable benefits to the organization albeit with the benefit of certain circumstances.
