| Intamac Partners with NRMA Insurance, SGIO and SGIC Intamac Systems has announced a partnership with NRMA Insurance, SGIO and SGIC to launch new internet-based home monitoring and security services in the Australian market. The companies are part of the Insurance Australia Group (IAG) and they will deploy Intamac's secure internet portal to introduce innovative new products and services. As part of the agreement, Northampton-based Intamac has built a new support platform in Sydney. This will be used to provide monitoring and messaging services to NRMA Insurance, SGIO and SGIC customers and to support the launch of a range of innovative new security products and services through its Home Security division. This move will position the insurers and Intamac as the leading players in the Australian security market and signals a fundamental change in the opportunities for the provision of home monitoring and security services. The Intamac secure internet portal puts the homeowner in complete control. In addition to the benefits of a home monitoring service designed to provide timely information about any unexpected entry or event, clients can remotely manage and monitor routine events in real-time that occur within the home every day. For example, NRMA Insurance, SGIO and SGIC can customise their home monitoring service to be alerted via phone, e-mail or text message to monitor events such as: children coming home safely for school; the activities of tradespeople, cleaners, nannies, au pairs or elderly relatives; alerts from water and smoke detectors. The platform also provides for the future remote management and control of domestic heating and electrical systems and the devices attached to them. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
