FirstBest Systems Partners with Connective Technologies to Help P&C Insurance Carriers Enhance Agent-Underwriter Collaboration; Webinar Set for April 9, 2008
To help P&C carriers combat the soft market and enable real-time collaboration between commercial insurance agents and underwriters, FirstBest Systems and Connective Technologies have joined forces to ensure seamless uploads from, and downloads to, agency management systems. The insurance software companies will present a joint Webinar on April 9, 2008.
Lexington, MA (PRWEB) April 7, 2008 -- FirstBest® Systems, Inc., developer of advanced Underwriting Management Systems™ (UMS) that enable property and casualty (P&C) insurance carriers to profit from better underwriting, today announced a technology partnership with Connective Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of e-Commerce business solutions for the P&C insurance industry.
Recognizing the need for real-time collaboration between agents and underwriters, FirstBest Systems and Connective Technologies have joined forces to ensure seamless uploads from, and downloads to, agency management systems. FirstBest's UMS insurance software provides the necessary automation and collaboration tools--such as email, live-chat, screen sharing, linked notes, and more--to make real-time collaboration possible. The FirstBest Underwriting Management System (UMS) redefines what is possible by bringing agents and underwriters closer together and helping them collaborate in writing more business and better business.
FirstBest Systems recently enhanced its UMS insurance software to enable agents to upload submissions automatically from their agency management systems to underwriters without re-keying data. UMS works with popular agency management systems such as those from AMS Services and Applied Systems, Inc. Meanwhile, Connective Technologies' proven TEAM-UP™ suite of products provides "once-and-done processing" in a data-secure environment for agency downloads.
In the current highly competitive market, carriers that provide FirstBest UMS capabilities and service to their agents and brokers will profit from increased retention, agent loyalty, and higher success ratios.
The two companies will present a Webinar on their joint offerings on April 9, 2008 at 1:00pm Eastern time. For more information or to register, please click here.
Dic Marxen, CEO of Connective Technologies, comments, "When I was introduced to FirstBest about a year ago, I knew the FirstBest Underwriting Management System was unlike anything the industry had ever seen. It's a pleasure to partner with FirstBest to help bring smart automation to the underwriting process and significantly enhance the ease of doing business with collaboration between underwriters and agents."
"Connective Technologies shares our vision of helping agents and underwriters scale their businesses profitably and achieve true underwriting transformation," adds John Belizaire, CEO, FirstBest Systems. "Together we are making it possible for carriers to strengthen customer loyalty and intimacy with agents."
