New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/08/2010 -- Strategic Insurance Agency Alliance (SIAA) has selected the SeaPass Hub, a real-time comparative commercial lines quoting service, as a strong option for their members.
After a careful and thorough review of all available solutions in the marketplace, SIAA has found that the SeaPass Hub provides the carrier access, reliability, ease of use and speed to enable the most efficient small business operations possible today.
Connie Bedaw at SIAA, said, “Over the past few years, SAN staff has looked at 3 different commercial lines comparative rating systems. … for some reason a good commercial lines rating system is hard to find. Recently, we completed a third-round look at the SeaPass system. They were very responsive in making tweaks to the system. We encourage our members to try this system. In this economic climate, agencies need to run as efficiently as possible. The ability to obtain multiple company quotes from one entry goes a long way towards improving efficiencies.”
Eric Gewirtzman, CEO of SeaPass, said, “We have great respect for SIAA and the business that they have built. Our collaboration with SIAA illustrates the value that entrepreneurial agents and brokers place on the technology solutions of SeaPass to provide reliable commercial lines quoting in real-time. The ability to quote all of your markets is an important element in providing the best overall choice for your client. Ease of doing business is key in today’s competitive environment and SIAA is providing exactly that with this new capability.”

SeaPass will enable SIAA members to deliver better service to their clients – a key factor in an increasingly competitive marketplace.”
