AMS and InStar Join to Fill Commercial Policy Needs for InStar Agency Management Software Clients
Bothell, WA - October 20, 2004 - AMS Services and InStar Corporation, announce the integration of PS4 ® Plus and InStar products. The offering brings together PS4 Plus, a software solution from AMS that manages the survey and submit processes of selling commercial policies with the InStar Agency Management Software. InStar customers will be able to utilize the power of PS4 Plus to secure new commercial business and upload the data directly into InStar. The embedded integration will be available in PS4 Plus v3.0 in October 2004.
“The benefits of integrating these products are increased utilization of automation by Instar’s customers and reduced time and processing effort involved in commercial transactions. A key strategy at InStar is to focus on developing relationships with vendors such as AMS that offer technology solutions that answer the business needs of our clients,” says Tom Hatcher, Vice President of InStar Corporation.
Becky Clegg, PS4 Plus Product Director at AMS Services commented “We see this integration as a great opportunity for InStar customers to grow the commercial side of their business using the tools in PS4 Plus. With simple wizards that lead agencies through the commercial sales process, from gathering information, analyzing risk and submitting RFP’s, PS4 Plus makes it easy and reduces the risk involved in the selling and servicing of commercial lines. I am pleased to be working with the InStar team to deliver this valuable benefit to our mutual customers.”
