BOTHELL, Wash., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertafore® (http://www.vertafore.com), a leading provider of software and services to the insurance industry, today announced that it has significantly expanded its relationship with Hub International Limited (Hub) (http://www.hubinternational.com), the ninth largest global insurance broker, to implement a full range of solutions from Vertafore. Hub will roll out Vertafore's full suite of solutions to its offices located across the United States.

"Hub is actively pursuing different solutions such as Vertafore to continually build a best-in-class brokerage, and we are certain that Vertafore can help us achieve this goal," said Donn Vucovich, Hub's president of brokerage shared services. "During the past 12 months, Hub has established a competitive advantage through the use of Vertafore offerings in a number of offices throughout the organization. Based on this success with Vertafore, we are extending Vertafore solutions to all U.S. offices in order to reap the same benefits in all of our operations."

Consolidating to a single Vertafore platform will help Hub better drive productivity, deliver value to agencies and reduce Errors & Omissions, which in turn helps improve customer satisfaction and efficiency. Customers will benefit from faster response times and accurate and consistent service.
