"Insurance is boring... but it has it's benefits"​ For over 20 years George Knox has been assisting companies with their employee benefit programs and insurance needs. In 1995, George became affiliated with the Ragland, Strother & Lafitte Insurance Agency, a property and casualty insurance consulting firm with roots in Dallas back to 1943, to provide a full service professional insurance service organization. In 1995, the team formed the memorable web portal - insuranceisboring.com - a comprehensive benefit community tool providing both employees and employers links to benefit information, HR information and administrative tools in one central location. This service saves administrators countless hours answering benefit questions, looking for forms and documents and provides links to countless resources. The technology is constantly being updated to improve communications and to assist clients with claims, administrative issues and other questions that may arise. Business is built on relationships. Network Insurance Planning Corporation provides a single source benefit administration contact for every client with online back-office administration, comprehensive enrollment and a call response center with licensed benefit consultants. George and his team's never ending passion is to improve employee satisfaction and retention.
