At its core, Insurance IT is a mass of interfaces, connectors, transactions, transformations and workflows. Tracking and conducting all of them has, until now, been an enormous and expensive undertaking. Connect5 (formerly known as AgencyConnect) is a robust tool-based integration platform that connects and orchestrates all products and services between and among Agencyport, in-house, and 3rd party systems.

Interface Knowledge + Orchestration

Agencyport Software is the industry leader in interface—integrating more carriers with more agency systems than anyone else. More than ten years and millions of transactions later, we've now added complete tool-based orchestration capabilities, making product and service interfacing and interoperability clean and seamless.

Beyond plugging into each of the industry's major agency systems—and many of the minor ones—Connect5 offers the most advanced interoperability solution in the market today:

  • A single entry point to any interface transaction
  • Advanced data mapping, routing and orchestration
  • Unmatched library of agency source mappings enabling accurate and consistent input and output data streams
  • Support of a wide variety of integration workflows—including upload, bridging and real-time rating
  • Efficient validation and packaging of data for a variety of destinations and routing

What does it mean?

  • Speed to market and lower cost; custom code hours decreased by 25% to 50%
  • Reusable configurations: ACORD compliant
  • Agnostic infrastructure: removes technology barriers when proprietary tools were previously required to maintain routes
  • Increased visibility: detects and controls data obstructions

Connect5 + AP Products = a match made in heaven.

If you're looking for more than plugging your existing site into agents, use Connect5 with all of Agencyport's solutions including AgencyPortal, Turnstile®, and BookSmart® for the industry's most sophisticated agency interface solution.

From garbage to gold.

Connect5 transforms and normalizes data coming in and gives carriers a consistent ACORD XML output. It also gives carriers a framework to express data validation and correction rules giving carriers a more complete, accurate inbound data stream. With an optional Interview component, it provides agents with an overview of data gaps and guides them through the issues to make corrections quickly and efficiently.

Name your transaction.

From new business to transactions like inquiry, endorsements, claims first notice, and all the services in between Connect5 makes it a snap.
