QUOTE, RATE AND ISSUE ONLINE

Travelers launched a new Internet-technology-based automation system for personal lines independent agents in an effort to save them time and improve their profitability by simplifying the quoting and issuing of new policies. The system, called ATLAS3, allows agents to quote and issue policies using Internet
technology. The interface is Internet browser-based and allows user-friendly navigation and input just by pointing and clicking. One
of the key features is the ability to print ACORD applications and ID cards and to quote proposals in the agent’s office. More than 165 agents are piloting the system. The broad rollout of ATLAS3 will begin next month.
