BOSTON, MA – October 20, 2006 AgencyPort Insurance Services, a leading provider of web-based solutions designed specifically for property and casualty insurers, today announced the opening of an office in Farmington, Connecticut. The new location will serve as headquarters for the company’s ACORD Consulting Team.

“ACORD standards play a critical role in both our software development group and our professional services organization,” says Marcia Berner, Senior Business Analyst at AgencyPort. “Hartford has always been a hotbed for experienced insurance IT professionals, and it makes a great deal of sense for us and for our customers to have access to the best and the brightest in the industry.”

“Enhancing our unique domain expertise is essential for ongoing superior customer service, growth and product development,” says Steven Hauck, President of AgencyPort. “With over 50 combined years of insurance carrier and agency information technology experience, the AgencyPort ACORD Team is positioned to better serve our clients and to support the company’s strong commitment to the ACORD standard.”

Further evidence of AgencyPort’s commitment to advancing the ACORD standard is the award the company received recently from ACORD itself—the AL3/XML Data Translation Award.

AgencyPort’s new office is located at 190 Farmington Avenue, Farmington, CT 06032, and can be reached by phone at 860-674-6135.
