HOUSTON -- Connective Technologies announces the contract signing of TEAM-UP[TM] Download with American Independent Companies Inc. ("AICI") in Pennsylvania for the premier servicing of agency download. With their non-standard auto insurance being covered by their five underwriting companies, including OMNI Insurance in Georgia, the TEAM-UP suite of products provides once-and-done processing in an industry compliant, data-secure environment for agency downloads.

Bruce Arneson, President of AICI said, "Our commitment to agency download represents our continuing support for our independent agents. Our goal is to provide our agents with state-of-the-art seamless efficiency allowing them to concentrate on profitable revenue generation."

Jonathan C. Edwards, CIO of AICI stated, "We're excited to have selected the most secure agency interface solution in the industry. With TEAM-UP's ease-of-use and accelerated roll-out capabilities, our time-to-market for agency deployment is measured in a matter of weeks, not months, for making it easy to do business with AICI."
