The Top 5 Reasons Independent Insurance and Mortgage Brokers Trust Their I.T. Services And Cybersecurity compliance to Motiva Networks

93-Seconds or less response time guarantee.

The 3 Biggest problems most Insurance & Mortgage Companies have with their I.T. Systems
and how Motiva solves them!

Problem #1
It’s hard to explain the problem because they don’t know Insurance or Mortgage.

Specialized processes in financial services need expert solutions to avoid costly inefficiencies and delays. Our engineers are skilled in essential insurance and mortgage software like AMS, Hawksoft, and Encompass. We promptly resolve issues, saving you time and frustration.

Problem #2
Poor Communication, Terrible Response Times and Poor Service from your current I.T. Provider.

When you call their office, you get voicemail or unhelpful staff, and it takes days or weeks to resolve issues that keep recurring We answer calls live, with an average response time under 93 seconds, and offer after-hours and weekend support at no extra cost.

Problem #3
Lack of knowledge of Cybersecurity Laws such as NY DFS

Most outsourced I.T. Companies don't understand compliance with Federal and State Cybersecurity Regulations, especially NY DFS 23 NYCRR500 Law. Our clients trust us for full compliance and 24/7/365 cybersecurity monitoring with Motiva’s Compliance as a Service Plan.

Motiva came to us highly recommended by the Big I and by several other local agents.

They are very familiar with insurance agency operations, the NYS DFS security requirements. Motiva’s staff are knowledgeable and efficient.

We interviewed several IT support companies. After meeting with Walter Contreras from Motiva, we knew we found a business owner who shared our philosophies.

Even if you already have an IT company that handles your cybersecurity or a team on board, I cannot stress the importance of having a qualified, independent cyber security specialist conduct a Cybersecurity Assessment.

If they find areas that need improvement, they will let you know what they are so you can be brilliantly proactive in getting systems in place to ensure you never have to experience an embarrassing, financially devastating and disruptive cyber-event.

It’s rare that I write about somebody else. I strongly recommend you take advantage of Walter Contreras who is an expert in Cybersecurity and IT Managed Services.

Cavallino Risk Management


Cavallino Risk would not have survived the economic turmoil of the great recession or the disruptive technology that has occurred in the retail insurance marketplace without the support of Motiva.

Without adapting to the changing technology landscape, your company is doomed for failure.

Cavallino Risk has been fortunate that it has had minimal exposure to other IT firms. The few that have been interviewed and services used in the past have either folded or were not up to the task of adapting to the changing IT environment.

Cavallino Risk has been utilizing Motiva for the past 10 years and expects to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

The reliability and knowledge of the Insurance Industry that Motiva brings to the table is invaluable to me. They are always consistent, they know who we are, and they understand the DFS Law better than we do.

I highly recommend them to any Insurance Broker no matter what size.

The biggest single benefit for us is that there's ALWAYS someone there to take our call and help us fix our issue or answer our question. When COVID19 hit, Motiva was really good during this stressful time since they had us set up with the tools we needed to have us work from home from the start

Get off the fence and use Motiva.
