NEEDHAM, MA--(Marketwire - October 29, 2007) - Massachusetts agents navigating the road to
competitive auto insurance can find information, news and commentary at a
new blog and Web site called Lane Change, launched by Boston Software.
The site, http://lanechange.bostonsoftware.com, features a blog where
agents and others can share thoughts, float ideas, ask each other questions
and get answers
"It's critical for independent insurance agents to be equipped with the
information and insight they need to prepare for the transition," said
Boston Software president Charles Walsh. "Lane Change is part of our
overall effort to ensure that our clients are ready for managed
competition."
Besides the blog, Lane Change has a "media file" page featuring links to
current news stories about managed competition from both trade and consumer
media. Its "timeline" page lists milestones leading to the April 1, 2008
start date.
Anyone can post comments and help drive the discussion. "We'll have
everything from opinion to technical information," he added. "It will be
lively and no-holds-barred. The more people who participate, the more
valuable it will be."
Based in Needham, Mass., Boston Software provides comparative and custom
rating software to independent insurance agents and carriers.
Its WinRater Rating Software gives insurance agents an exact-dollar
estimate of policy premiums and includes sales and efficiency features to
help them manage their book of business. WinRater is used by more than
1,700 agencies in Massachusetts. Created in 1995, WinRater pioneered
Windows-based rating and set a new standard for speed, simplicity,
accuracy, and reliability.
