BOTHELL, Wash., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertafore (http://www.vertafore.com), a leading provider of software and services to the insurance industry, today announced that its TransactNOW® and PL Rating™ products performed well above projections in 2009, facilitating more than 16.7 million agency-carrier transactions — an 88-percent increase over 2008. The results clearly demonstrate the value of Vertafore's industry-leading connectivity solutions.

"Agent-to-carrier, real-time connectivity continues to be an important focus in the industry," said Dave Acker, Vertafore's vice president of rating and connectivity.
