Connective Technologies, Inc. and
SimpleSolve Inc.
Team Together with a Systems Integration Initiative for Agency Download.
Houston, TX, (BusinessWire) May 11, 2006, Connective Technologies
and SimpleSolve have teamed together to deliver an integrated
agency interface system based on industry-leading, services-oriented
architecture ("SOA"), using SimpleSolve's advanced technology
policy administration system, SimpleInsure, and Connective's Internet-secure
data translation and download program, TEAM-UP.
This seamless, end-to-end system, translates SimpleInsure's files
into reusable ACORD AL3 standard files and transmits them directly
over an Internet-secure connection (TEAM-UP) for providing direct
download capability to more than 28 different agency management
systems. The ease of scheduling automatic downloads and by providing
improved agency capabilities like real-time, single or multiple
policy retrievals and multiple carrier download retrievals in
a single processing step, greatly enhances the agency experience.
The first carrier, Mid-State Mutual, has already contracted with
SimpleSolve and Connective to provide the first implementation
of the integrated solution.
Steve Miller, President and CEO of Mid-State Mutual comments,
"Quality and cost effective service to our agency-base is
vital to our success. Integrating SimpleInsure with TEAM-UP and
supplying their combined simple, real-time process flow and functionality
for download will make it easier and faster for our agents to
do business with Mid-State Mutual."
Antony Xavier, President of SimpleSolve sums it up as, "All
of us come out as winners in this partnership. By deploying the
SimpleInsure policy administration system, Mid-State empowers
its underwriters and agents to collaborate and transact business
online. Additionally enabling automated, data exchange with leading
agency systems using Connective's TEAM-UP products, Mid-State
will have a business model that positions them as a preferred
carrier among its network of agents."
"The TEAM-UP integration with SimpleInsure leverages our
complimentary SOA technologies for providing a premier, reusable
industry-standard, and once-and-done download product. Our commitment
to Mid-State Mutual and all of our carrier alliances is for providing
easy-to-use and affordable carrier-agency interface solutions
over the Internet. We're very excited about broadening our horizons
with these meaningful alliances!" states Dic Marxen, Chairman
of Connective.
