Total your car, file an insurance claim, and if you get your payment quickly, well, you probably have CCC to thank. The company expedites auto claims processing with software for insurance agencies, appraisers, and repair shops. Their application, Pathways, estimates repair costs, while Valuescope estimates the worth of destroyed vehicles. CCC Information Services was acquired by Investcorp for about $496 million in early 2006.
Githesh joined CCC 1992 as EVP of Product Engineering and CTO and has served as President, Chief Executive Officer, and in 2000 was elected Chairman of the Board.
