Leading insurance agency software developer Applied Systems is riding high after claiming six awards at the 2015 ACORD Awards – the highest number of honors claimed by a single company at the event.

The awards, which are presented to organizations and individuals who demonstrate outstanding achievement in ACORD implementations, recognize business process improvement, individual and organizational leadership, global outreach and industry community excellence.

ACORD facilitates the development of open consensus data standards and standard forms and works with members and partner organizations to drive implementation of those standards across the global insurance industry.

Applied Systems and its partners received the following honors, as enumerated by a company announcement:
  • 2015 ACORD Leadership Award for Applied Rating for the set of tools and processes provided by Applied Rater, the market-leading comparative rating technology, by which Applied can rapidly create extremely rich and valuable carrier-specific ACORD XML messages, including carrier-specific data validation and translation, field editing, complex relational editing and data augmentation.
  • 2015 ACORD Leadership Award for Applied Systems for effectively leveraging ACORD standards to enhance Claims download for agents using Applied TAM 2015.
  • 2015 ACORD Leadership Award for IVANS Insurance Solutions for the IVANS Connections Project, which has driven connectivity and data exchange between agencies and carriers through the increased adoption of available download service capabilities. IVANS is a division of Applied Systems.
  • 2015 ACORD Global Citizen Award for Applied Systems for enabling download certification of the first Puerto Rican insurance company, thereby extending the use of ACORD standards into a new country/region.
  • 2015 ACORD Case Study Award: IVANS Insurance Solutions and Columbia Insurance Group for IVANS’ work in automating Columbia Insurance Group’s commercial lines quoting process using ACORD XML to increase data exchange between Columbia Insurance Group’s agent partners’ management systems and their rating and underwriting systems.
  • 2015 ACORD Case Study Award: IVANS Insurance Solutions and Utica National submissions for IVANS service to increase accuracy and streamline the creation of ACORD Forms through the integration of eForms into Utica National’s commercial lines agent portal quoting and policy issuance process.
Reid French, chief executive officer of Applied Systems, celebrated the honors as well as the ACORD organization.

“ACORD is the global leader in defining data standards and forms across the insurance industry, and we are honored to continue to work in collaboration with this fine organization to increase implementation and adoption of these standards worldwide,” French said. “As the global insurance industry’s trusted technology partner, Applied is committed to driving connectivity and data exchange between carriers, agents and the insured, and these awards further underscore and recognize our commitment to software innovation, leadership and customer success for greater growth profitability.”
