BOTHELL, Wash. - Vertafore (http://www.vertafore.com), a leading provider of software and services to the insurance industry, today announced that the Sagitta agency management system provides unmatched scalability and capacity, enabling large agencies to continue to support customers as their businesses grow.
Vertafore conducted scalability testing on Sagitta at the IBM Innovation Center in Waltham, Massachusetts, using Microsoft® Visual Studio Team Systems 2008 Test Edition to simulate an agency environment. In six trials based on real world workflows provided by customers, Sagitta processed hundreds of thousands of transactions per minute, barely exceeding 50 percent CPU utilization, thus demonstrating its ability to easily handle rapidly expanding processing activity. Sagitta performance and response times met customer requirements for scenarios ranging up to 20,000 users. "Our partnership with Vertafore has enabled us to build the stable and robust Sagitta platform we have for our current business needs," said Spencer Colby, manager, broker applications with HUB International, the 9th largest U.S. Broker. "The results they shared with us from a capacity test they recently completed with IBM on an enhanced platform gave us insight into the future of Sagitta and its potential for growth in a business like ours which continues to diversify and grow." For agencies that expect to gain new business and employees in the future, the tests show that Sagitta offers the flexibility and power needed to manage growth successfully with one system. Also, agencies no longer need to split their employees into two separate databases, which reduces cost and simplifies processes. "Customers require a system that grows as they grow. These results clearly show that Sagitta is a solid agency management system for large, growing agencies and brokers that require increased scalability," said Gytis Barzdukas, vice president, product management for agency solutions with Vertafore. "As the industry continues to consolidate and our customers grow, Sagitta will grow with them and scale to their evolving businesses and needs."
