Connective Technologies Announces TEAM-UP Download with Grange Insurance

Houston, TX (Business Wire) November 11, 2003, Connective Technologies, Inc., and Grange Insurance today announced signing of a contract to provide an interface solution for download policy information to their agents via the Internet. "Connective's TEAM-UP Download offers Grange the ability to enhance the functionality we currently provide to our agencies for download services. On-line archive retrieval provides additional real-time services for the agent and reduces our archiving support currently required through our present download system," states Sherri Rarey, Vice President of Agency Interface. "The best feature is the immediate savings we will receive by using the Internet as our communication vehicle for download." "TEAM-UP Download offers Property and Casualty carriers like Grange Insurance the ability to download as much information, to as many agencies as needed. It also significantly reduces their download costs and allows an easy methodology for budgeting for this service," said David Hahn, V.P. of Business Development for Connective. "Another key feature of TEAM-UP Download is that is does not change the current download workflow of the agent."
