Mar 13, 2009
BOTHELL, Wash. (March 13, 2009) - Vertafore, a provider of market-leading software and services to the insurance industry, today released an integrated version of its industry leading ClientConnect and BenefitPoint products at the 33rd annual AMS Users' Group National Conference in Washington, D.C.
The newly integrated system provides employers with a self-service web portal to review policies and benefits, and to search for network providers. Additionally, employees can view and compare benefit plans easily and find answers to frequently asked questions, all in one place.
The integration enables insurance agencies to quickly launch multiple customized client sites and access risk management and compliance information in real time. This feature significantly reduces the time required to maintain benefits and human resources communications.
"With this new offering, ClientConnect enables agencies to more effectively attract new customers, strengthen existing client relationships, and differentiate their services," said Eric Maki, senior product manager, Vertafore Agency Markets.
"ClientConnect is an economical and efficient way to raise the value of agency services and gives insurance brokers more time to build and enhance relationships with their clients."
Vertafore also presented its recently announced corporate reorganization to 'One Vertafore' and unveiled the elements of its new corporate brand to the 2,000 agent, brokers and industry executives attending the national conference.
"Our recent corporate reorganization to 'One Vertafore' will enable us to better deliver innovative integrated solutions," said Bill Bunker, president, Vertafore Agency Markets. "The integration of ClientConnect and BenefitPoint is the first example of the value that we will focus on providing our customers in the future."
In addition, the company announced the release of ReferenceConnect, a new online resource for insurance agencies and carriers that aggregates content from an extensive library of trusted industry publishers and bureaus.
