Houston, TX (Business Wire) January 11, 2005, Connective Technologies, Inc., and Ohio Mutual Insurance Group, today announced the signing of a contract for Connective to provide Ohio Mutual its Internet based download solution. "There were several reasons for Ohio Mutual to go with Connective's TEAM-UP Download' said Scott Mackey, Ohio Mutual's AVP of e-Business and Non-Standard Operations.

It also allows us to increase our download agent base and lines of business without increasing our costs."
