Ohio’s Progressive Earns Two E-Commerce Pioneer Awards

Ohio-based Progressive, one of the country’s largest auto insurance groups, became the only two-award winner in the first-ever E-Commerce Pioneer Awards, given by Ecom-Ohio on September 5.

Ecom-Ohio, an initiative to evaluate the infrastructure and demand for e-commerce in Ohio, recognized Progressive for its online offerings, citing its Web site, progressive.com, its online customer service center, personal.progressive.com and its agent-dedicated Web site ForAgentsOnly.com.

The company won awards in its business category and a special award for business transformation.”We’re delighted to be recognized as an Internet leader in the auto insurance industry,” stated Progressive’s chief information officer Ray Voelker. “Leveraging the infrastructure of our ‘bricks-and-mortar’ business allowed us to also become a successful ‘clicks-and-mortar’ business, giving consumers more choices in when, where and how they buy and service their auto insurance policies.”
