SEATTLE, Oct 08, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- FRISF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- First Risk Management Services (FiRMS), the largest flood insurance provider in Hawaii and a subsidiary of First Insurance Company of Hawaii (FICOH), announced today that it has selected Torrent Technologies, Inc. (Torrent) to provide systems solutions and back office services to support its flood business. TorrentFlood(R) is the newest platform on the market and offers the industry's only 100 percent web-based and real-time flood processing solution designed specifically for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

"With the new direction we are looking to take our flood program, we searched for a solution that could both support our future initiatives in the NFIP as well as distinguish our flood solution from that of our competitors. We are excited to be moving our flood insurance solution to TorrentFlood(R), a platform that we believe will ensure we achieve our objectives for the FICOH flood insurance program," said Steve Tabussi, VP-Customer Solutions at FICOH. "Transitioning to Torrent's platform gives us the tools to provide better service to our flood insurance customers."

TorrentFlood(R) sets a new standard in the flood insurance industry, employing the latest technology to offer an easy-to-use and NFIP-compliant solution for the handling and servicing of flood insurance policies in an industry with limited and antiquated options.

"We are honored to have FICOH join our growing family of client companies," said Travis Pine, Torrent's founder, CEO and Chairman. Pine, along with Theresa 'TJ' Johnston, founded Torrent in early 2005. "This is an excellent fit for us as our two companies share very similar philosophies and core values. We look forward to a long and successful partnership serving FICOH." FICOH marks Torrent's 20th client since launching TorrentFlood(R) to market in early 2007 making Torrent the fastest growing Flood Vendor in the market today.
