WASHINGTON--A coalition of insurance industry interests has launched a marketing campaign to convince independent agents to increase their use of single sign-on software programs.

The effort was announced by Jeffrey M. Yates, ACT's (Agents Council for Technology) executive director, at a press conference held here during the Independent Agents & Brokers of America's Legislative Conference and Convention last week.

Mr. Yates said a coalition of vendor software groups, independent agents and carriers have joined to promote Real Time, agency software programs systems aimed at allowing agents to access carrier Web sites using a single sign-on. Through these applications, they can interact with the carrier's Web site and their agency management system.
