FCCI Insurance Chooses Sword Insurance Portal

FCCI Insurance Group has selected AgencyPortal, enhanced with Toolkit and AgencyConnect products, to launch a transactional Web system for agents.

The portal is a product of Sword Insurance, a provider of Web-based product distribution solutions to the P&C insurance industry. Sword says FCCI determined the need to extend its Web offering beyond its current scope, conducting an extensive search for the right approach and partner. 

AgencyPortal is designed to enable P&C carriers execute key business transactions quickly and easily with their agents, brokers, MGAs and consumers, minimizing the cost of distributing new and existing products and letting companies grow direct written premium intelligently and cost effectively. With the addition of a Toolkit, Sword says FCCI’s front-end Web system will go to market faster, while allowing business analysts to intuitively create, update and manage products within AgencyPortal. AgencyConnect will provide agents an easy-to-use, streamlined workflow solution for uploading data from vendor systems to the FCCI web portal, Sword adds.

“This is a strategic shift in the way FCCI does business,” says Mason Power, VP of product and market strategy for Sword Insurance. “The new FCCI Connect product will allow the company to expand into new markets with new products quickly and easily.”

Sword says FCCI will go live in phases, with internal testing of the new portal beginning in spring 2011.
