Connective Technologies, Inc. Announces TEAM-UP Contracts with Marysville Mutual Insurance Company.

HOUSTON -- Connective Technologies announces the signing of contracts with Marysville Mutual for licensing and implementing TEAM-UP Download[TM] and TEAM-UP Translation Solutions. The TEAM-UP suite of products provides once-and-done processing in an industry compliant, data-secure environment for agency downloads.

Trent Moser, President of Marysville Mutual, stated, "After completing a market survey with our agencies and identifying agency download as a top requirement, we decided to invest in this automation. We had been evaluating the TEAM-UP product suite for over a year and determined that its SOA technology framework, feature/function robustness, and ease of use would provide a value-added, premier service for our agencies and policyholders. All of which allow us to achieve our goal of making it easier to do business with Marysville."

Dic Marxen, CEO of Connective Technologies, adds, "Marysville's customer service driven culture is exemplary and one that clearly raises the bar to new levels of efficiencies for servicing their agencies." Dic further commented that "through ongoing investments in our people, processes, and technologies we are committed to sustaining market leadership with our TEAM-UP suite of solutions."

TEAM-UP Download is an Internet-secure offering being leveraged by more than 50 P&C carriers in providing accessibility to over 20,000 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 and incorporates a single-process entry point at the agency for accessing multiple carriers downloads.

About Marysville Mutual Insurance:

On December 28, 1888 a group formed a company for the purpose of providing themselves and the Marysville community with better fire insurance facilities. It was agreed to call the newly formed company The Marshall County Farmers Mutual Fire and Lightning Insurance Association. The object of the association was determined as being to mutually insure its members against loss or damage by fire or lightning. On March 16, 1889 the company was granted its first charter by the Kansas Insurance Department. As an adjunct to the original association a charter was issued for The Farmers Mutual Fire & Tornado Insurance Company on September 24, 1898 to organize a tornado insurance company. The two companies merged on March 10, 1932. The name of the company was changed to The Farmers Mutual Insurance Company. Coverage was broadened to cover loss or damage by hail as well as fire, lightning and tornado. On January 2, 1956 the name of the company was changed to The Marysville Mutual Insurance Company. Today, there are 230 agencies over the entire state of Kansas writing 15.8 million in premiums for Marysville Mutual.
