American International Technology Enterprises, Inc. Launches MassXpress to Streamline Massachusetts Automobile Insurance Processing

NEW YORK--Dec. 1, 20035, 2003--American International Technology Enterprises, Inc. (doing business as AIG Technologies), a member company of American International Group, Inc. (AIG), today announced the launch of MassXpress(TM), a Web-based product designed to streamline the insurance application process for carriers writing personal automobile coverage in Massachusetts.

MassXpress integrates with key insurance reporting organizations in Massachusetts to help insurers improve processing times and reporting procedures. These organizations include the Merit Rating Board (MRB), Automobile Insurers Bureau (AIB), Commonwealth Auto Reinsurers (CAR), and the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV).

"Submitting automobile coverage applications can be a complex procedure, with state-specific rules and regulations creating efficiency challenges for insurers," said Paul Madarasz, President, AIG Technologies (AIGT). "MassXpress was created by AIGT to help alleviate these issues; the technology serves as a cost-effective tool that enables existing and new automobile insurance carriers in the state to work more effectively."

MassXpress provides quick access to both driver and vehicle information via a connection with the RMV and the state's Uninsured Motorist System (UMS). Through these connections, a majority of the data fields required to issue a policy are populated with minimal data entry. Other features include provisional re-rate, expert underwriting, and UMS inquiry and update.

Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance Company recently implemented MassXpress at its headquarters in Quincy, MA to reduce operating expenses and improve workflow efficiencies. "MassXpress has streamlined Quincy Mutual's workflow for its internal staff and agents," commented Mark A. Giuliani, Vice President, Information Technology, Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance Company. "We have been able to improve and simplify many of our processes while realizing a significant reduction in cost."
