BISYS Specialty Programs was formed in 2004 when BISYS Group purchased several established MGAs that were well known for their expertise in particular business segments. This allowed BISYS to enter the P&C marketplace and quickly attain a leadership position in program underwriting. David Tooley, president of BISYS Specialty Programs, says, “We are a bit unique in the MGA marketplace because we offer extensive capabilities in so many areas. We provide in-house policy administration, loss control and exceptional customer service. We’re a ‘one stop shop’ for agents needing to place risks in a variety of areas, and we continually expand our capabilities through broadened authority and new market relationships.”

Professional liability programs include errors and omissions and employment practices liability Insurance (virtually any class). Among BISYS’s stand-alone products are GL and business auto, with several lines of coverage included in each program.
BISYS is committed to the agents and industries it serves. “Our underwriters are customer-focused and understand the needs of the operator and federal/state requirements they may be required to meet,” says Mike Oliver, senior vice president of the BISYS trucking program. “It’s important to do business with a provider that knows its industry well.” Coverages offered in BISYS transportation programs include auto liability, physical damage, cargo, occupational accident, passenger accident, property, GL, umbrella, excess, EPLI and workers compensation.
