Connective Technologies, Inc. announces
TEAM-UP Download contract with AssuranceAmerica Corporation.
Houston, TX, (BusinessWire) March 14, 2006, Connective
Technologies announces their agreement with AssuranceAmerica Corporation
for providing Internet-secure downloads using the TEAM-UP product
for better servicing their agencies.
"In 2006, one of our goals is to provide superior service
to our agency base and to do so by investing in cost effective,
strategic technology solutions. TEAM-UP Download and its Services-Oriented
Architecture "SOA" allow us to accomplish this goal
early on. This technologically sound and functionally rich agency
interface solution is second to none. With an accelerated time-to-market,
in about 60 days our agents will have an ability to retrieve in
real-time, a policy or a group of policies from archives without
any dependency on our customer support group… time savings
for them and personnel savings for us!" comments Joe Skruck,
President of AssuranceAmerica MGA.
"We're excited to align our solutions with AssuranceAmerica's
goals so that we both have a win-win to kick-start our respective
2006 business years. In looking at this year's business horizon,
we are confident that we will keep the pace and stay on course
for another stellar innovative and expansive year with our technologically
advanced, easy-to-use, and cost effective TEAM-UP agency interface
solutions," added Dic Marxen, Chairman of Connective Technologies.
TEAM-UP Download is an Internet-secure offering being leveraged
by P&C carriers in providing accessibility to over 10,000
trading partners throughout the United States. Now in its third
major release, the product has matured to ensure agencies a seamless
migration from other download processes. The improved self-reliant
features such as single-policy, real-time archival retrievals
by the agents, improved group management distribution and tracking
features that ease and accelerate the registration and implementation
process for both agencies and carriers have been implemented with
TEAM-UP's SOA to seamlessly fit into carrier's existing agency
portals. It also incorporates a single-process entry point at
the agency for accessing multiple carriers downloads.
