New site allows South Carolina Farm Bureau Insurance customers the ability to satisfy their insurance needs at their convenience

(Winston-Salem, NC) – Stratapult, a leading provider of web-enabled business solutions announced today the launch of an enhanced website for the South Carolina Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company, the largest domestic property and casualty insurance company in South Carolina.

South Carolina Farm Bureau Insurance's main objective was to add functionality to its site to allow more customer interaction.  Customers can now make credit card payments for insurance premiums through the site, find an insurance agent by zip code or county, and link to an agent's web pages if available.  New policy management functionality empowers customers to make address changes, report claims and make vehicle changes on-line at their convenience, twenty-four hours a day.  The site accesses existing databases already established within the organization, and it provides South Carolina Farm Bureau Insurance staff with an easy-to-use vehicle to update website content. The site also employs the latest in Microsoft .Net development technology and security.

"We are thrilled that South Carolina Farm Bureau Insurance asked us to help them on this project," said Tom Brown, President of Stratapult.  "The new website should boost their customer satisfaction and loyalty and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace."

"We are excited about the design and features of our new website and the fact that it has been developed using the latest in technology," said Bert Young, Vice President of Information Technology, for South Carolina Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company.  "Working with Stratapult, we were able to accomplish both our goals of developing a new website and learning the technology to support the new site."
