ACORD Consulting

In the business of efficiently linking agents and carriers, standards can make all the difference. That's why the entire AgencyPort solution is based on ACORD XML—the insurance standard. Its use gives carriers the ability to focus on implementing one data model, and their development staff the peace of mind of working with a single, universal data format.

Despite the benefits that ACORD standards offer, however, most insurance companies face challenges associated with accepting or maintaining standards adoption. AgencyPort has a dedicated professional services organization with over 100 years of combined industry experience to help meet those challenges—from converting AL3 legacy data to implementing an ACORD XML web-service.

AgencyPort's ACORD Consultants provide clients with the resources they need for successful implementation of ACORD-based projects, assisting them in designing leading interface strategies, and supporting the implementation of our ACORD XML-based software products.

Combining our experience and expertise with certified ACORD XML products and transformation tools, we strategically position our customers to evolve with an ever-changing landscape. Project experience includes:

• Multiple real-time implementations of upload solutions for all ACORD-based lines of business
• Deployment of an agency management system gateway for inquiry transactions
• Working with customers implementing multiple agency management system upload tools such as Transformation Station and TransactNOW
• Integration with many other non-Applied or AMS management systems and comparative rating vendors
• AL3 to ACORD XML book transfers
• Real-time "single transaction quote import" transactions from carrier web system to agency management system
• Real-time ACORD standard endorsement processing

AgencyPort is the first company to fully integrate the ACORD XML schema into its product line, and is committed to the adoption of ACORD standards across the insurance technology marketplace.
