Sircon Corporation Partners with the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA)
PIA Joins Sircon Partner Referral Program to Provide Members Discounted Online Services
Okemos, Mich., February 20, 2006 - Sircon Corporation, the only service provider that offers strategic producer-centric solutions for insurance carriers, agencies and state regulators, today announced a partnership with the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA) to provide online services to all PIA members, across the nation.
PIA and Sircon have been working to establish a relationship that would provide additional benefits to PIA members. The result is the announcement of a partnership that provides online services delivered by Sircon's Compliance Express™ platform at a special rate for PIA members. With PIA joining the Sircon Partner Referral Program, PIA members can now go to a special co-branded website designed specifically for PIA, and take advantage of a special PIA member discount for online services such as:
- Electronic License Applications (resident and non-resident)
- Electronic License Renewals
- Real-Time Letters of Certification
- Continuing Education Transcripts
- Name and Address Changes
Utilizing Sircon's services will allow PIA producers to streamline their licensing process, and reduce the time required to get licensed and selling. Many PIA members already use Sircon for their compliance needs, and this partnership makes using Sircon even more affordable.
Len Brevik, CEO of PIA, believes that this will be a valuable service for PIA members. "PIA was looking to partner with a company that is a market leader, and has a clear vision for the future. Sircon has the most comprehensive online services available to producers on the market today," said Brevik. "The fact that they provide services to both the State regulators and the insurance industry uniquely positions them to provide regulatory responses in 'real-time,' which is critical for producers who need to move quickly to obtain an initial license, or renew an existing license."
"Partnering with PIA is a great fit, and will enable Sircon to work closely with PIA and its members to provide new services based upon member feedback. Sircon's vision for individual producers and agencies is exciting, and will change how producers work with regulators to stay in compliance," said Gary Gummig, Vice President of Government Affairs & Business Development.
PIA members can learn more and take advantage of the PIA member discount by visiting the PIA Plus section of the PIA Main Street Store at www.PIANET.com. The direct link is www.pianet.com/PIAMainStreetStore/piaplus/Sircon.htm.
