A foothold in Financial Services and Insurance

Together, QuoteBurst and AGO Insurance establish our new portfolio of financial services and insurance software businesses.

"I am extremely pleased with the initial phase of our new portfolio in Financial Services and Insurance (FS&I). We have recruited a talented team, acquired some quality businesses, and hired our first EVP for a new Business Unit.  As we move forward my goal for our team is pretty simple: to make FS&I and Harris as closely associated as we are with Utilities, Public Sector and Schools and Healthcare. It's a really tall order but exactly the audacious goal the team and I signed up for"

QuoteBurst specializes in strategic marketing solutions for insurance agents while AGO Insurance offers personal and commercial policy processing systems along with accounting, underwriting, claims and reporting solutions.
