The Hartford Launches Technology Practice Group

Hartford, Conn. - The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., is customizing its approach to the technology sector with the formation of a Technology Practice Group, which will leverage The Hartford's existing line of technology insurance products to serve both current and future players in the growing market. The new group will be headquartered at the company's home office in Hartford, Conn. It will be staffed by a team of underwriters located throughout the country, as well as legal, claim, product and risk management professionals, the group provides the tools, support and know-how to help agents protect their technology clients from a wide range of rapidly-changing business risks.

"Rapid change in the $6 billion technology insurance market brings new exposures and new opportunities every day," said Judy Blades, senior executive vice president, Property & Casualty Operations. "Our new Technology Practice Group will work closely with agents and brokers to better understand their clients' distinctive needs, risks and potential for growth.
