Connective Technologies, Inc. announces TEAM-UP Download Contracts with Barton Mutual Group Insurance Companies
Houston, TX, (BusinessWire) May 6, 2008, Connective Technologies announces the signing of contracts with Barton Mutual Group Insurance Companies for licensing and implementing TEAM-UP DownloadT and TEAM-UP Translation Solutions. The TEAM-UP solution provides once-and-done processing in an industry compliant, data-secure environment for agency downloads.
Joel Dermott, IT Manager of Barton Mutual Group, commented, "We surveyed our agency base and our findings concluded that agency interface, in particular download, was one of their top service priorities. After reviewing available market solutions, TEAM-UP ranked second-to-none in terms of the overall value proposition of providing a secure, cost effective product, a solid commitment to product evolution and client base, and delivering on ease of use for our agencies."
Dic Marxen, CEO of Connective Technologies adds, "Barton Mutual continues to extend and further establish our already existing presence in the Midwest with multi-line, mutual carriers. We are pleased to welcome to our client base, a long-term provider of insurance services to Missouri policy holders."
TEAM-UP Download is an Internet-secure offering being leveraged by more than 50 P&C carriers in providing accessibility to over 20,000 communicating agency pairs using more than 40 different agency management systems throughout every region in the United States. Now in its third major release, the product has matured to ensure agencies have 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 process for both agencies and carriers, have been implemented with TEAM-UP's Service Oriented Architecture. This environment ensures a seamless fit into carriers' existing agency portals and incorporates a single-process entry point at the agency for accessing multiple carriers downloads.
