Keal Technology and Applied Systems Announce Joint Integration

Keal Technology's comXP to integrate with Applied Systems' TAM

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada - October 17, 2007- Today at the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario Convention (IBAO), Applied Systems and Keal Technology jointly announce an integration partnership. The partnership will see Keal's commercial management system (CMS), comXP, integrate with Applied Systems broker management system (BMS), The Agency Manager (TAM®), using the Applied ConneXion® tool kit. This is the first integration between these two companies.

Brokers are looking for integrated technology solutions that will streamline operations affording them time to grow their business. As a result, the popularity of commercial-specific management systems is steadily gaining momentum. XML standards from the Centre for Study in Insurance Operations (CSIO), enhance brokers' ability to integrate with insurers. comXP's SQL architecture lends itself to efficient compliance with XML files transmission to upload and download data. To complete the integration and fully utilize capabilities, a CMS must integrate with the BMS to achieve maximum benefit.

"I am very pleased to announce that Applied Systems has agreed to integrate Keal's comXP with the TAM application. This will provide Applied's commercial clients with integrated access to comXP and in turn give us an opportunity to bring comXP to a wider audience," said Pat Durepos, Keal president. "As a result of this partnership, brokers throughout Canada will benefit from more efficient workflows that will improve time management, reduce expenses, and increase margins overall."

"We're pleased to provide our ConneXion toolkit to Keal for the integration of its comXP product with The Agency Manager," said Doug Johnston, Applied Systems vice president of Partner Relations & Product Innovations. "The use of ConneXion will provide a cleaner - 2 - integration with TAM for our mutual broker customers, resulting in automatic activities and a direct link between customer files in comXP."

The project is scheduled to commence in November 2007 with anticipated delivery in early 2008. "We are committed to devoting the development resources required to make this partnership successful," said Bill Redford, director of development at Keal. "Existing Keal clients will still see their enhancement requests fulfilled and will likely gain extra benefits as a result of the additional resources devoted to the comXP/TAM integration project."
