Southeast Insurance Celebrates 20 Years of Service and a New Beginning in Daytona Beach

Jan 12, 2024 | Books, Business

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Jan. 9, 2024 – PRLog — Southeast Insurance is pleased to announce that the company is celebrating its 20th anniversary along with a significant milestone – the relocation of its office in Daytona Beach, Florida. The company, founded by Brian Nelson in 2003, provides exceptional insurance solutions in home, auto, renters, flood, and condo insurance.

The new office, located at 104 LaCosta Lane, Unit 140, Daytona Beach, FL, marks a new chapter in the company’s history. This move, just 3.88 miles from the original office, is driven by Volusia County’s acquisition of the previous property for future developmental plans. Despite the sentimental value attached to the former 3,600 sq ft building, constructed by Brian’s grandfather, a former State Farm District Manager, and later occupied by his father Dean Nelson’s law practice since 1971, the company embraces this change with optimism.

“Our family has deep roots in this community, starting from when my grandfather built the original building in 1956,” said Brian Nelson, Founder of Southeast Insurance. “While we cherish those memories, we are excited about the opportunities that our new location brings. It’s more than just an office; it’s a commitment to our clients and the community.”

The new 1,600 sq ft office space, located near several new subdivisions and the Tanger Outlets, provides greater accessibility and growth potential. The move also symbolizes a significant evolution from the old office, where the company occupied 1,400 sq ft of working space.

“We’ve had 60 years’ worth of memories in our old building, but it’s time for growth and expansion,” added Brian Nelson. “The proceeds from the sale have allowed us to invest in a space that better suits our needs and those of our clients.”

The new office, conveniently situated off Williamson Blvd., boasts a central location, offering easier access for clients across Daytona Beach. The team of three full-time and one part-time staff are excited to welcome clients to their new location, where they continue to offer personalized service from Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.

As Southeast Insurance embarks on this new journey, the company remains dedicated to its core values of trust, reliability, and excellence in service – principles that have guided it for two decades.

Southeast Insurance employs four staff members and specializes in homeowners, auto, condo, flood, umbrella, rental, boat and motorcycle policies. They have built a trust with thousands of policy-holders since 2003.

Southeast Insurance Agency, Inc. is an independent agency that has been serving the Volusia and Flagler market and beyond since 2003. They have relationships with dozens of insurance companies, allowing them to customize an insurance policy for each customer. The company’s new office is located at 104 LaCosta Lane, Unit 140, Daytona Beach. They can be reached by calling 386-258-9998, or online at http://southeastins.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/SoutheastInsuranceAgency.

Without a doubt, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the innovation engine for product manufacturing businesses as it helps orchestrate the creation, maintenance, and reuse of digital assets central to developing new products and services. In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has begun to foster end-to-end lifecycle connectivity in PLM, leading to unprecedented growth in structured and unstructured product-related data that can augment human intelligence through appropriate analysis.

As a result, we can now leverage the big data flowing within PLM and across adjacent enterprise solutions to explore new PLM-related Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. This exploration promises to bring superior products and related services to markets faster and cheaper.

This free webinar will delve into the emergence of these transformative topics and more. Join us for an insightful discussion on how these advancements are shaping the future of PLM, bringing about a paradigm shift in how we conceive, develop, and bring products to market faster and more economically.

Attendees will:

  • Better understand AI’s place within a PLM environment.
  • Acquire practical insights on leveraging AI within a PLM context and discover its transformative potential.
  • Understand how AI can effectively manage and derive actionable insights from the overwhelming data deluge.
  • Learn how to demystify the world of AI and Machine Learning and gain a comprehensive understanding of their applications and benefits.
  • Be exposed to relevant analytics techniques and real-world use cases, providing a comprehensive understanding of AI’s practical applications.
  • Learn how to extract meaningful intelligence from PLM-related data, enhancing decision-making and strategic insights.
  • Discover how to become an innovator equipped with AI capabilities.

According to Peter Bilello, CIMdata’s President & CEO, “We hear a lot of hype related to AI. So, as PLM professionals, we must ask ourselves how real it is and whether it has a place within a PLM environment. The answer is yes. In fact, CIMdata fully supports the exploration and adoption of AI as part of enterprise digital transformation for realizing augmented intelligence capability in PLM through its frameworks.”

People from multiple levels of an organization will find the information in this webinar pertinent and valuable. Executives responsible for PLM initiatives, those responsible for digital transformation, PLM team leaders, PLM team members, PLM users, product managers, IT leadership, PLM solution providers, or anyone else who wants to understand AI trends and status within the global PLM industry will benefit from attending.
