1st Guard Corporation Launches New Software Program to Enhance Efficiency

Venice, Florida – June 2, 2008 – 1st Guard Corporation, an insurance firm specializing in truck insurance for owner operators leased to a motor carrier, announced today that they have launched and successfully converted to a new software program. The software program, notably referred to as ATHIA, stands for Applied Technology for Higher Intelligence and Automation. This project has taken over two years to complete by 1st Guard® personnel. ATHIA is unique to 1st Guard® and tailored to the truck insurance industry.

“The reason why we [1st Guard®] undertook such a huge project was because we wanted to enhance our efficiency and productivity in the office which translates into better customer service for current and potential customers,” stated Daniel Ribar, Chief Information Officer at 1st Guard® and project manager of ATHIA. “Technology can either slow you down or speed you up depending on how well you apply it,” added Ribar, “and at 1st Guard® we are all about automation through applied technology.”

ATHIA is a next generation web application that encompasses all aspects of the [truck insurance] business. Available from any Internet connection, ATHIA transcends typical business systems by applying complex automation. 1st Guard® is well known in the truck insurance industry as the fastest truck insurance on the road and now, with ATHIA in place, 1st Guard® will be even faster than before.

Ed Campbell, Chairman of 1st Guard Corporation and First Guard Insurance Company, summed it up by saying “We’ve had a leg up on our competitors for quite some time but with the launch of ATHIA, we will blow them out of the water. Everyone will benefit from the ingenious behind this software.”
