InsureZone Tripled User Population in 2002

InsureZone, based in Fort Worth, Texas, announced that it closed out 2002 with more than 2,500 agents across the nation approved to submit business using the advanced single-entry, multiple-company interface (SEMCI) its XML-based MarketSecure(tm) technology platform supports.

That represents a threefold increase in the number of agents approved to use InsureZone’s Web-enabled programs since Dec. 31, 2001. Nearly $33 million in small commercial premium has been quoted by InsureZone since the launch of MarketSecure in October 2001.

“We’ve built a strong, scalable platform with all the flexibility and functionality to deliver fast, accurate quotes on small commercial insurance,” said J. Russell “Rusty” Reid, InsureZone’s president and CEO. “It certainly bodes well for the future that, with each passing month, more and more agents study the small commercial options available to them, and then decide to align with us.”

InsureZone has developed separate product lines tailored to insurance distributors’ differing needs. Each serves as a gateway to small commercial products from highly rated national carriers such as AIG, CNA, The Hartford and Zurich North America Small Business. One is designed for smaller and rural agencies that need a lifeline to additional markets, the other for larger independent and bank-owned brokerages and agency clusters interested in finding a more efficient way to process their small commercial business.
