AgencyPort and RiskMeter Integration Provides Insurers with Straight-Thru-Processing

Boston, MA, April 2009 - AgencyPort Insurance Services, Inc., a leading provider of web-based solutions and services designed specifically for property & casualty insurers, has formed a partnership with the RiskMeter Online. This alliance will eliminate duplicate data entry for underwriters and agents, as well as reduce the communication needed between an underwriter or agent to quote and bind new and existing business.

"In order to provide straight-thru-processing and make it easy for agents to do business, it's crucial for insurers to integrate with third party data providers to support the underwriting process,” explains Steven Hauck, Co-Founder & President, AgencyPort. “Our partnership with the RiskMeter Online essentially lowers the cost and risk associated with integrating two software providers into one solution. On the heels of multiple, successful customer implementations with RiskMeter, AgencyPort can bundle a RiskMeter “web service” as a valuable integrated component of our overall solution,” says Hauck.

"IT departments throughout the insurance industry are bogged down with various long term projects,” explains Dan Munson, Founder, RiskMeter Online. “Unfortunately, at the same time, there’s also a major push for insurers to automate the steps it takes to quote and bind business. RiskMeter’s partnership with AgencyPort solves both of these problems by enabling insurance carriers the ability to systematically check for natural hazard risk, without taking on a complex or costly IT project,” says Munson.
