Success through innovation
WebX Launch
Sheraton has launched WebX, an optional add-on for Websure that allows a user with little knowledge of web development to build an e-commerce web site to sell insurance on-line. Features include immediate updating of back-office accounts.
With WebX you can build both retail sites and broker extranets. New insurance products can be brought to market very rapidly and with little or no external costs.
