Bothell, WA – August 6, 2014 –Vertafore, the leading provider of software that transforms the business of insurance, today launched an informative educational series designed to help insurance carriers solidify connections with agents while facilitating discussion of how technology and big data can strengthen their business relationships.
Vertafore is a leading provider of carrier solutions to the marketplace, executing more than 50,000,000 real-time transactions between agencies and carriers last year and is committed to growing those connections. The company is dedicating a special section of its website to the comprehensive campaign called “The Connected Carrier.” The website houses visual infographics, in-depth blogs, and thought-provoking white papers that challenge carriers to consider how they use technology to develop and strengthen relationships with agents.
“Agencies increasingly have a choice with which carriers they do business with,” said Guy Weismantel, Vice President of marketing at Vertafore. “The choice is not only between who writes the best policies, but increasingly who it’s easiest to do business with. This series will help carriers strategize how technology can make business easier and more profitable for their agency counterparts.”
The series will probe topical business issues such as connecting big data and analytics, leveraging mobile technology and mitigating risk.
Vertafore has a long tradition of supporting carriers, working with 80% of the industry’s top carrier organizations. The software company recently expanded that commitment by inviting carrier customers to attend the 2015 NetVU Conference. The conference is designed to accelerate innovation and enhance collaboration among Vertafore users through education, networking and advocacy. Formerly an agency-only event, the expansion to include carriers clearly demonstrates Vertafore’s commitment to the carrier space.
“By continuing to innovate our software and extending participation at NetVU Conference to this prestigious group of insurance providers, Vertafore is unwavering in our commitment to serve carriers,” Vertafore CEO Alex Lintner said last month. “In addition to providing access to the broadest agency distribution channel, we are giving carriers the power to improve partnerships with agents and grow profitability – today and in the future.”
Last year’s conference attracted over 2,500 attendees and industry influencers. The 2015 NetVU Conference, scheduled for March 26-28 in Indianapolis, IN, is set to surpass previous expectations with dynamic demos, talks and business insights for all sides of the insurance distribution system.
