The www.websites4insurance.com product is the first direct agency retail product developed by InformINS, which licenses numerous technology infrastructure systems to general agencies and carriers. InformINS' web sites agency tools empower insurance agents, brokers, and agencies to implement an online marketing and management system previously reserved for large agencies and MGAs.
