Connective Technologies, Inc. Announces
TEAM-UP Download Contract
with Safety Insurance Company
Houston, TX, (BusinessWire) January 23, 2007, Connective
Technologies announces their contract signing with Safety Insurance
Company for using the TEAM-UP Download product, promoting
better, easier to use interface services for their agencies.
James Berry, Vice President of Insurance Operations comments,
"Safety is committed to streamlining, simplifying, and providing
cost effective web-services like Connective's TEAM-UP Download
for making it easy for agents to do business. Our agency community
and customer service teams will benefit greatly from TEAM-UP's
robust functionality. Team-UP achieves our goal for once-and-done
processing of daily downloads and equips agents with a self-service
capability to retrieve single and/or groups of policies in real-time."
"As Safety strives for delivering the best possible service
to its agencies and policy holders, we are excited that TEAM-UP
Download will perform such an integral role in making it easy,
simple and intuitive for agents to do business with Safety,"
added Dic Marxen, Chairman of Connective Technologies. "Further
TEAM-UP product expansions, planned later this year, will promote
additional types of real-time transactions such as electronic
correspondences, alerts, and inquiries."
TEAM-UP Download is an Internet-secure offering being leveraged
by P&C carriers in providing accessibility to over 15,000
trading partners with more than 35 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. It also
incorporates a single-process entry point at the agency for accessing
multiple carriers downloads.
