Sirius Financial Systems and AXA Insurance (AXAI) have announced that users of Sirius for Broking software will be given direct access to AXA's e-enablement facilities for commercial quotations and product information.

This should help streamline the process of commercial trading as the need to re-key data will be eliminated, with information and quotation data passing directly from AXAI into the Sirius back-office system.

AXA's commercial and intermediary lines director Mark Cliff said: "Sirius has a customer profile that closely matches our target broker. To be able to interact electronically with the Sirius broker population will be a real plus for all parties."
