Connective Technologies, Inc. Announces TEAM-UP Download Contract with Tuscarora-Wayne Mutual Insurance Company.

HOUSTON -- Connective Technologies announces their TEAM-UP Download contract signing with the Tuscarora Wayne Group of Companies, Wyalusing, Pennsylvania for promoting ease-of-use and superior serviceability of the Group's independent agencies.

Jay W. Chadwick, president and chief executive officer of the Group comments, "In supporting the credo of my father, who was the president and chief executive officer when I joined the Group, 'put the tape around the individual twice and the risk once,' we have organized the Group around this philosophy and it remains an important ingredient in our mission to 'Serve the Underserved.' This unconventional approach allows us to serve a wide array of individuals and business owners, including those who may not otherwise obtain insurance due to unique situations. To this end, we're excited about implementing the robust functionality and straight-thru processing capabilities of the TEAM-UP Download product making it easier to do business and further enhancing our relationship with an outstanding agency force."

The Tuscarora Wayne Group of Companies has a long-standing tradition and reputation of serving a wide array of individual and business owners' risks in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Ohio. We are honored to have them join our client base. "We believe that through leveraging the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) technology that TEAM-UP Download provides, the Tuscarora Wayne Group of Companies can more effectively service their agencies and sustain strong, secure relationships for many years to come," added 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 15,000 trading partners with more than 31 different agency management systems throughout the United States. 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 and single sign-on entry point at the agent's desktop for accessing multiple carrier downloads.
