CINCINNATI, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cincinnati Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: CINF - News) -- The Cincinnati Insurance Company announced today that it has added technology to allow its local independent agencies to upload selected information directly from their agency management systems to e- CLAS®, Cincinnati's system for processing dentist's and businessowners package policies. Cincinnati earlier this year added CinciBridge(TM) upload capability to its WinCPP® commercial rating system.

"Our decision to offer this technology gives us another tool to further strengthen our agency relationships. CinciBridge makes it easier to do business with us, enhancing our ability to sustain industry-leading growth," said James E. Benoski, president and chief executive officer of The Cincinnati Insurance Company. "CinciBridge streamlines application submissions, saving time and reducing error due to duplicate entry. Agencies can leverage the information they've already entered in their agency management systems to submit applications and initiate commercial quotes, providing more efficient service. This frees their time to compete for business by providing prompt, personal and professional service."

CinciBridge works with interactive services from the two major insurance agency management system vendors, Applied Systems, Inc. and AMS Services, Inc., to provide real-time policy rating and submission. To protect privacy, information is transferred by secure methods using the IVANS/Transformation Station network for Applied customers and the TransactNOW system for AMS users.

Cincinnati is one of the first carriers in the industry to implement commercial lines bridging technology as promoted by the Agents Council for Technology and ACORD-User Groups Information Exchange. Both organizations advocate for real-time services, allowing independent agencies that represent multiple carriers to process policy transactions from the agency's client file.
