SERVICEPOWER TECHNOLOGIES EXPANDS AGREEMENT WITH ASSURANT SOLUTIONS TO PROVIDE ENHANCED ACCESS TO THIRD-PARTY SERVICE AND INSTALLATION CONTRACTORS

STOCKPORT, ENGLAND and ATLANTA --- ServicePower Technologies Plc (AIM: SVR), a market leader in outsourced services and field management, and Assurant Solutions are pleased to announce a contract expansion to provide the leading specialty insurer and its customers enhanced access to third-party repair and installation services.

In 2011, Assurant Solutions purchased a license to use and resell ServiceOperations, a software that allows the company and its clients to manage or dispatch work to third-party service providers and manage claims payments to them. Under the new three-year agreement valued at $714,000, Assurant Solutions obtains a new license and entered into a revenue share contract for ServicePower's new field management software. The new web-based marketplace for the posting of contractor jobs and management of payment, ServiceMarket, can integrate with ServiceOperations.

"We are delighted that Assurant Solutions has chosen to expand its relationship with ServicePower to also incorporate our newly launched ServiceMarket product," said Mark Duffin, CEO of ServicePower. "As Assurant Solutions and its customers embark on market leading service delivery models, and endeavor to control related costs, ServiceMarket is an obvious addition to their field management platform."

Assurant Solutions now can offer its clients a single platform for managing and publishing jobs, some for bid, to a fully vetted and continually growing, multi-vertical contractor marketplace. This new arrangement also enables Assurant Solutions to expand its use of third-party repair and installation servicers for its extended service contract businesses by marketing through crowdsourcing activities.

"ServiceMarket provides us with a mechanism to provide additional service offerings to our clients and their consumers while continuing to ensure exceptional customer satisfaction. The platform complements our scheduling technology and, when combined, the two enable us to provide unique ways to deliver new services with the best possible customer experience and price," said Keith Meier, senior vice president, at Assurant Solutions. "In fact, we were already able to complete our first agreement with a new client for this service solution within days of executing the expanded agreement with ServicePower."
