Connective Technologies, Inc. Announces Auto-Owners Insurance Company's Implementation of TEAM-UP Download.

HOUSTON -- Connective Technologies announces the rollout of their TEAM-UP Download(tm) product, providing a cost effective, Internet-secure agency interface program to Auto-Owners' agencies.

Auto-Owners Insurance Company has implemented TEAM-UP Download with over 1500 independent insurance agencies. Auto-Owners implemented TEAM-UP Download because of the product's cost effective rates and reporting features. Generally, Auto-Owners' agencies schedule TEAM-UP Download to run as part of their nightly computer process. Additionally, agencies have the ability to resend immediately an entire day of download or individual policy download on an as needed basis.

"Auto-Owners rollout of TEAM-UP Download's Version 3 further demonstrates the overwhelming industry acceptance of our flagship product offering. We're excited that Auto-Owners is extending the robust functionality provided in our contemporary, Services-Oriented Architected "SOA" solution for making it easier for their agents to do business," stated 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 10,000 trading partners with more than 31 different agency management systems throughout the United States. Now in its third major release, the product has matured to ensure agencies 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 SOA to seamlessly fit into carriers' existing agency portals. It also incorporates a single-process entry point at the agency for accessing multiple carriers downloads.
