Oregon Mutual Insurance (OMI) has been named winner of the 2012 Technology Innovation Award for the development of its MiAgents iPad application, which converts routine agency visits into a call to action that is relevant at the moment for the carrier and the agency. The award is sponsored by Ward Group and IASA.

OMI's Bryan Fowler, vice president of IT for OMI, was presented the award Tuesday morning at the general session by Beth Mercier, CIO for IASA and vice president for Travelers, and Jeffrey Rieder, partner for Ward Group.

“The judging committee was impressed by OMI's innovative way of changing the conversations with their independent agents,” says Rieder. “The MiAgents application drives new business growth and retention in this competitive marketplace. They have found a way to quantify subjective agency visits into actionable field intelligence utilized to manage strategic decisions.”
