Endorsed by Council of Insurance
Agents and Brokers, RPost Transforms Insurance Business Operations by Delivering
Advanced E-mail Liability Protection.
Los Angeles, February 6, 2007 -
RPost®, the leader in managed outbound messaging with its flagship
Registered E-mail® service suite, today announced widespread adoption among
independent insurance agencies and brokerages of RPost as the service platform
for business-critical outbound e-mail communications. Companies in the highly
regulated insurance sector that now use RPost include Carroll Companies, Clemons
Insurance, Finance Insurance Company, Frankel Insurance, Hayward Tilton & Rolapp
Ins. Associates, Inc, HT Insurance, Seely-Durland, Inc., S.H. Smith & Company,
Inc., and The Graham Company, among others. With RPost, these companies now have
legal and verifiable proof of e-mail delivery, message content and a detailed
electronic trail from sender to receiver. With RPost, insurance brokers and
agents can now comfortably and efficiently use e-mail where paper was once the
only way to transact business.
Insurance professional are
conservative by nature and risk adverse, but are also under competitive pressure
to streamline processes and drive greater efficiency. Confronted with huge
Errors and Omissions (E&O) liability exposures, agents and brokers require new
technologies that allow them to optimize electronic communications while
minimizing risk. By shoring up the last-mile security gap in traditional
electronic business communications, RPost Registered E-mail messages offer
insurance professionals speed, security, accountability and personal liability
protection in a simple, cost-effective solution that can be used when needed for
an average cost of $0.59 per message, far less than overnight delivery or
certified/registered snail mail.
“Seely-Durland, and indeed the entire
insurance industry, needs a product like RPost’s Registered E-mail service for
communicating with its customers, underwriters, marketing reps, claims
adjustors, auditors and a host of other insurance related contacts,” commented
Stuart Durland, vice president of Seely-Durland, Inc. and past president of
ASCnet, the association of independent insurance agents and brokers. “The
time-sensitive process of binding insurance coverage by traditional paper
communications no longer meets the needs of market demands. RPost not only
transforms the way brokers send orders to bind coverage and endorsement, but all
communications among clients, brokers and carriers are expedited and afforded
more accountability.”
“RPost’s Registered E-mail service
has changed our practices on what we communicate by e-mail as opposed to regular
mail or fax. With RPost’s Registered E-mail service we are able to send much
more information by e-mail given RPost’s ability to provide legal proof of the
delivery of the e-mail content and attachments,” said A. Peter Prinsen, Vice
President and General Counsel of The Graham Company.
RPost’s Registered E-mail service has
been tested, accepted and used by U.S. government agencies needing simple,
verifiable evidence of e-mail delivery and content with an official time-stamp.
This acceptance is further proof of the quality of the RPost Registered E-mail
service and has enhanced its value to insurance agents and brokers.
“RPost provides a simple, inexpensive
solution to the many shortcomings inherent in standard e-mail because it proves
delivery to every Internet mail address and provides verifiable evidence of the
transaction in case of a dispute,” said David Kinder, CFO of S.H. Smith &
Company, Inc. “RPost’s Registered E-mail gives us the peace of mind of knowing
that an e-mail we deem important can be certified with a date and time stamp on
the send, receive, and read status, as well as providing legal proof of the
content and attachments our agents delivered.”
