Celina Insurance Group Partners With SIS WebLink
Gahanna, OH– August 1, 2003 Strategic Insurance
Software, Inc. (SIS) www.sisware.com recently announced
a new partnership with Celina Insurance Group www.celinagroup.com
to provide direct access from SIS WebLink in the SEMCI
PARTNER® agency management system to Celina’s
secured agency site, “RBI”, or Resource Base
of Information.
WebLink provides Celina agencies one-click access to individual
policyholder files resulting in two important benefits
– saved time for the agency and increased effectiveness
of the carrier website.
WebLink is a bridge from their SEMCI PARTNER® management
system into RBI to immediately reference customer policies.
The bridge uses encryption for security and can be used
only by authorized Celina agencies using SEMCI PARTNER®
version 6.0. Agencies on earlier versions can upgrade
without any fees or costs.
Certification of the new WebLink function is a leap forward
for agencies because it eliminates duplicate entry for
log-in passwords, client names and policy numbers for
searching.
"As a company that has invested a lot of time and
money to create a user friendly web site for our independent
agencies, we are excited to use the SIS WebLink product
to allow our agencies a simple route to information on
our web site,” says Rob Shoenfelt, Celina Insurance
Group Chief Information Officer. “This product makes
both the management system and our web site more valuable
to our mutual customers.”
Doug Allen, Chief Operating Officer of SIS added, “Celina’s
certification is a perfect example of how effectively
companies can deploy new technology. They called us July
1st and by July 15th WebLink to RBI was in production.
My hat goes off to the Celina team because they looked
beyond the completion of the website. They saw that if
agencies could have immediate access via WebLink, they
would realize bigger returns on their web development
costs.”
SIS trainers and Celina field representatives will team-up
in September to explore how agencies can start taking
advantage of WebLink and RBI. The collaboration will begin
with a training session in the Celina home office and
may include several marketing initiatives by SIS and Celina.
“Working with the staff at SIS was a refreshingly
pleasant experience. We were able to integrate our web
site with their management system very quickly and deliver
functionality that our agencies wanted and needed to streamline
their workflow,” says Shoenfelt.
Celina Insurance Group has been certified for download
to SEMCI PARTNER® since 1997. Celina is a provider
of Farm insurance as well as Auto, Home and Business.
Traditionally, across the country, Farm policies have
not been downloaded, making that line more difficult to
service at the agency level. By providing WebLink to the
Celina Farm policies, these agencies now have a particular
advantage.
Based in Columbus, Ohio, Strategic Insurance Software,
Inc. is a leading supplier of standard-based agency and
company interface products and services. The SEMCI PARTNER®
agency management system is marketed nationwide through
direct sales and company alliances. For additional information,
