IVANS Announces AgentExpress

IVANS Inc., a provider of network and e-commerce solutions for the insurance industry, said it is launching AgentExpress, a program to encourage agents to use broadband connections to retrieve carrier downloads.

Agents whose carriers are sending information to IVANS E-Commerce Server (ECS) can use broadband connections to retrieve files, said Old Greenwich, Conn.-based IVANS. The company added that its broadband download specialists are proactively calling the more than 4,000 agents who are not yet using their broadband connections for download and are walking them through the configuration, which takes less than 10 minutes. IVANS has also sent a fact sheet to agents explaining the four steps needed to configure their agency management systems for broadband download.

Agents can use their existing broadband connections, regardless of service provider, to retrieve downloads, said IVANS. The only other requirement is Transfer Manager 2.2, which is already integrated into more than 20 agency management systems. If agents dont have Transfer Manager 2.2, they can obtain it from their agency vendors or by contacting IVANS.
