New Business Upload Agreement Announced by The Dominion and Custom Software Solutions

September 27, 2011, Toronto, ON and Virden, MB – Custom Software Solutions Inc. (CSSI) and The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company (The Dominion) are pleased to announce they have entered into an connectivity agreement for New Business Upload from CSSI’s The Broker’s Workstation (TBW) and also its standalone rating and underwriting tool, Intelliquote (IQ).

The project connects CSSI’s TBW and IQ with The Dominion’s new business upload web service using CSIO XML 4.3. Once complete, the integration will allow brokers to upload both Personal Lines Automobile and Property policies in the various regions where The Dominion conducts business.  This will allow for improved efficiencies company-wide and the ability for The Dominion to optimize their partnerships with independent insurance brokers.

“Custom Software is pleased to be adding New Business Upload at The Dominion to its growing list of Insurance Company Integrations. Many of our broker clients have been requesting this integration and we are extremely excited to be able to deliver it,” stated Scott Andrew, CEO of Custom Software Solutions.

“We are committed to improving process efficiencies with our broker partners and are pleased to move this agenda forward by adding Custom Software Solutions’ The Broker’s Workstation to our suite of broker support technologies,” said Steve Whitelaw, Senior Vice President, Personal Lines and Business Solutions at The Dominion.
