Connective Technologies Announces
TEAM-UP Download with Merchants Insurance Group
Houston, TX (Business Wire) February 08, 2005, Connective
Technologies, Inc., and Merchants Insurance Group, today announced
the signing of a contract to provide TEAM-UP Download to Merchants'
independent insurance agent network.
"In our continuing process of building solid relationships
with our agents, we felt that we could provide better and faster
service to our agents by using the real-time archiving features
offered in TEAM-UP Download that are not available with our current
download provider. Freeing up our help desk staff along with the
elimination of mailbox and byte fees will yield significant expense
reductions for Merchants," stated Dr. Clark Sykes, Merchants'
Vice President - Information Technology.
"TEAM-UP Download is platform independent. The implementation
into Merchants' iSeries infrastructure will be quick and won't
have any impact on their daily workflow," said David Hahn,
Connective's VP-Business Development. "Our installation of
the product is designed to provide more functionality at a much
more reasonable price than the current method most carriers utilize
today."
There is no ACORD AL3 file re-certification required when utilizing
TEAM-UP Download, allowing carriers to begin their rollout immediately.
