Connective Technologies, Inc. Announces
TEAM-UP Download Contract with Tuscarora-Wayne Mutual Insurance Company
Houston, TX, (BusinessWire) October 16, 2006, Connective
Technologies announces their TEAM-UP Download contract signing
with the Tuscarora Wayne Group of Companies, Wyalusing, Pennsylvania
for promoting ease-of-use and superior serviceability of the Group's
independent agencies.
Jay W. Chadwick, president and chief executive officer of the
Group comments, "In supporting the credo of my father, who
was the president and chief executive officer when I joined the
Group, 'put the tape around the individual twice and the risk
once,' we have organized the Group around this philosophy and
it remains an important ingredient in our mission to 'Serve the
Underserved.' This unconventional approach allows us to serve
a wide array of individuals and business owners, including those
who may not otherwise obtain insurance due to unique situations.
To this end, we're excited about implementing the robust functionality
and straight-thru processing capabilities of the TEAM-UP Download
product making it easier to do business and further enhancing
our relationship with an outstanding agency force."
The Tuscarora Wayne Group of Companies has a long-standing tradition
and reputation of serving a wide array of individual and business
owners' risks in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Ohio. We
are honored to have them join our client base. "We believe
that through leveraging the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
technology that TEAM-UP Download provides, the Tuscarora Wayne
Group of Companies can more effectively service their agencies
and sustain strong, secure relationships for many years to come,"
added Dic Marxen, Chairman of Connective Technologies.
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 31 different agency management
systems throughout the United States. 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
SOA to seamlessly fit into carriers' existing agency portals.
It also incorporates a single-process and single sign-on entry
point at the agent's desktop for accessing multiple carrier downloads.
