When Bill Angelidis, Founder and Director of Asta, a Melbourne-based IT and Technology company, checked on his company’s office one very stormy night in December 2016, shock quickly turned to worry as he realised that the offices had flooded entirely. Raging storms over Melbourne had caused extensive damage around the city and to their building.
As the leader of an established business with staff, clients and lots of IT equipment, Bill dealt with the immediate effects of the flood on the physical space and disruption to the Asta business. From water extraction and equipment removal to assessing potential risks from mould and water damage—yet by far the more challenging task was handling the necessary insurance claim.
Fast forward to June 2017, and Bill was not only experiencing the pain of history repeating, another storm—another office flood, more frustratingly, he was dealing with another insurance claim. With significant damage to equipment and some hard conversations with his insurer, the business was facing unacceptable downtime, again.
After going through the challenging task of (literally) wading through offices—and then wading through the insurance process, not once, but twice in twelve months—Bill was sure there had to be a quicker, more straightforward way for businesses to manage insurance claims when disaster strikes.
