Connective Technologies, Inc. Announces
TEAM-UP Download Contracts
with Woodville Mutual
Houston, TX, (BusinessWire) September 7, 2007, Connective Technologies announces signing of contracts with Woodville Mutual Insurance for licensing and implementing TEAM-UP DownloadT and TEAM-UP Data Translation Solutions (DTS). The TEAM-UP applications provide once-and-done processing in an industry compliant, data-secure environment for agency downloads.
Jon Younker, President of Woodville, commented, "Offering our agents the latest download technology was a goal we set out to achieve when we started reviewing the vendor download solutions. TEAM-UP Download was an easy choice because it offered the most secure, feature rich, end to end interface solution on the market today.
Dic Marxen, CEO of Connective Technologies adds, "Woodville Mutual selected TEAM-UP Download because it will provide their agency partners a secure download solution with enhanced functionality, not found in competing download offerings. TEAM-UP Download is a high quality, industry-leading agency interface product adopted by both large and small carriers and is the market leader in Internet download. The Data Translation Solutions use state of the art technologies and are platform independent. Connective Technologies' commitment to ongoing R&D, using TEAM-UP as the platform, will enable Woodville to offer additional real-time transactions as they expand their agency base and grow their premium."
TEAM-UP Download is an Internet-secure offering being leveraged by more than 35 P&C carriers in providing accessibility to over 15,000 communicating agency pairs using more than 40 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, incorporates a single-process entry point at the agency for accessing multiple carriers downloads, and it eliminates 3rd party compliance issues with SAS 70.
