ProspX Announces Outlook Email Integration
On-Demand Platform Enables Seamless Coupling of Microsoft Email Application with Insurance Industry’s Leading Enterprise Search and Sales Collaboration Solution
AUSTIN, Texas – March 23, 2010 – ProspX, Inc., developer of the only on-demand enterprise search and sales collaboration solution for the commercial insurance industry, today announced the availability of its solution to directly access ProspX services from Microsoft Outlook. ProspX DirectConnect™ for Microsoft Outlook makes it easier than ever for brokers and carriers to connect and collaborate on new or renewal insurance business opportunities without interruptions in their workflow or the concern that critical information could be lost in desktop silos.
ProspX’s market leading search and collaboration services are integrated directly into Outlook, providing users with the flexibility to work in either application while still transparently tracking, organizing, and archiving conversations and information exchanged for specific business opportunities in ProspX. Additionally, the solution offers single sign-on to ProspX from Outlook making it seamless to move between the two platforms as desired.
“Our integration with Microsoft Outlook means users have access to the critical ProspX business functions required by their organizations from wherever they are most comfortable working, thereby improving productivity,” said Puru Agrawal, executive vice president of products and CTO for ProspX. “This enhancement is one more way we remove the user adoption barrier, enabling organizations to be more proactive in the sales process while tapping into the collective brainpower of their network through collaboration.”
ProspX DirectConnect for Outlook goes one step further than ProspX’s existing EmailConnect solution − which allows brokers and carriers to track, organize, archive and report on their opportunity specific email interactions − by seamlessly connecting Microsoft Outlook to ProspX through familiar Outlook controls. This saves the tremendous time and effort typically involved with organizing internal and insurance carrier correspondence required of commercial insurance brokerage firms. Now, any team member’s opportunity specific correspondence is available to all opportunity team members.
“It is exciting how ProspX has taken the ease of prospecting to the next level,” said Cristy León, business development and risk management manager for Seitlin Insurance and Advisory Services. “With the new DirectConnect for Outlook functionality we have a seamless approach to integrating our existing workflow process with the ProspX platform. We are eager to see how our associates respond and are looking forward to what ProspX develops next.”
“Outlook is the first of many popular platforms we will seamlessly integrate with ProspX,” said Agrawal. “Our goal is for brokers and carriers to access ProspX from anywhere and still reap the benefits of streamlined communication, real-time expertise, tracking, and reporting in order to stay competitive in the industry.”
As a $500 billion per year market, the highly competitive commercial insurance industry provides services for hundreds of thousands of customers worldwide. To improve the flow of business, ProspX has developed a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that combines enterprise social networking, search, and CRM technology.
