Safeco Adds BOP New Business to its TransactNOW Implementation

Windsor, CT — Safeco Insurance has added a commercial lines new business data bridge to their existing TransactNOW implementation. The new business bridge enables any AMS management system customer to use TransactNOW to submit BOP new business data to SafecoNOW, then be automatically directed and signed on to SafecoNOW in a matter of seconds to complete the transaction. Since March 2003, AMS agents representing Safeco have been using TransactNOW for both personal and commercial lines inquiries, Carrier Passport and personal endorsement processing.

TransactNOW enables AMS management system customers to process business transactions with carriers via a real-time single-entry workflow, without having to leave their system. Initially launched with billing and claim inquiries, AMS has added policy view inquiries, Carrier Passport, real-time endorsements, quote-and-issue and much, much more. Carrier Passport enables users to go directly from the TransactNOW inquiry to the full spectrum of functionality available through the carrier's Web site.

Since its launch early in 2003, more than 4,000 agencies are actively using TransactNOW. TransactNOW uses ACORD® standards and XML technology to integrate carrier Web site functionality into agency management system workflow. This means transactions and carriers can be rapidly added, and agents can rapidly deploy. Developed in close cooperation with The AMS Users' Group, TransactNOW is available to agencies using all AMS management system products. For further information, contact AMS at iisg@amsworld.com.
