Capital Taps Agencyport for Distribution Overhaul

Capital Insurance Group (CIG), a P&C carrier serving Western states, will implement three products from Boston-based Agencyport: its AgencyPortal web-based distribution platform, the Turnstile form automation service, and the Connect5 routing and orchestration platform.

CIG's goal is "to create a differentiating online point of sale experience," it says in a statement. The implementation comes as the company is also replacing its other core systems.

“CIG is undergoing a significant multi-year core consolidation and improvement initiative,” Walt Bennett, VP of underwriting, explained in a statement. “At the same time, we recognize important revenue growth opportunities.
