Houston, TX (Business Wire) January 19, 2005, Connective
Technologies, Inc., and State Auto Insurance Companies, today
announced signing of a contract to provide TEAM-UP Download to
State Auto agents. "State Auto was looking for a robust download
product that could be installed quickly with a minimum of interference
with our day to day operations. Connective's Internet based TEAM-UP
Download satisfied that need, as well as reducing our download
costs dramatically," said Doug Allen, VP, Director of IT
at State Auto.
"It is important for us to be able to add agencies, as well
as additional lines of business without any increase in our download
cost. With Connective's fixed fee pricing, our cost is known regardless
of our growth in business," Allen added.
"TEAM-UP Download is presently in production with 27 agency
management systems. State Auto joins over 40 carriers doing download
