WINDSOR, Conn. & BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 7, 2003

AMS Services and SilverPlume announce the completed link between PS4 Plus(R) (version 2.5) and SilverPlume's Sage(R). The first release will allow a PS4 user to select a specific coverage or business risk and link directly to the agent's Sage account to find ISO forms, market information, in-depth coverage detail, and more.

PS4 Plus is AMS's widely used commercial lines risk analysis, proposal, and submission workflow product. Linking the two products allows agents to find Sage's specific risk information without exiting the application, all done as a single workflow process. Sage offers the most comprehensive online information reference tool in the insurance industry, and combines the ease of an insurance-specific search engine with access to the publications insurance professionals require.

"The addition of the Sage link in PS4 Plus demonstrates our commitment to expand and enhance the Sage product line to meet the ever-increasing online information needs of insurance professionals. We are delighted with the immediate success of Sage. Our customers appreciate the ease of our interface, the accuracy of our search results, and our timely and innovative product development," commented Christina Nelson, president and chief executive officer of SilverPlume.

Becky Clegg, PS4 Plus sales manager, AMS Services, also commented. "Connecting PS4 Plus with Sage will greatly enhance our customers' workflow. PS4 Plus takes a particular business risk through the entire commercial sales process.
