Scottsdale Insurance Company Signs Contract to License Vertafore PolicyIssuance

PolicyIssuance increases productivity for General Agents

BOTHELL, Washington, August 12, 2010 - Vertafore (www.vertafore.com), a leading provider of software and
services to the insurance industry, today announced that Scottsdale Insurance
Company - one of the largest excess and surplus (E&S) and specialty lines
carriers - will license its Vertafore PolicyIssuance product. Web-based and
built to ACORD XML standards, PolicyIssuance provides an efficient process
for General Agents to issue policies, virtually eliminating redundant
keystrokes.

Scottsdale Insurance, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide, selected
PolicyIssuance to enable its General Agents to have access to its policy
forms library, receive real-time forms updates and gain improved efficiency
by saving keystrokes.

PolicyIssuance shortens a General Agent's policy-issuance cycle time and
limits errors and omissions (E&O) exposure by auto-filling data directly from
their agency management system to the appropriate and current E&S carrier
forms. Data is extracted from the agency management system, and the software
analyzes the data based on an underwriting rules engine. Once all the
mandatory data is complete, the software automatically selects the required
policy forms and pre-fills data into form sets, totally eliminating the
re-keying of data.

"Since announcing the upcoming availability of PolicyIssuance earlier
this year, we've received significant interest in the product," said Matt
McKernan, president, Vertafore Carrier & MGA Markets. "By significantly
reducing keystrokes and increasing overall efficiency for General Agents,
PolicyIssuance's value is undeniable. We're excited to work with a company as
innovative and progressive as Scottsdale Insurance."

Vertafore PolicyIssuance is available now. For more details, contact
