Download continues to generate benefits for the industry, and carriers are now sending millions of download transactions per month using IVANS' communications platform. IVANS' 2010 carrier survey suggests this trend will continue, with 85 percent of respondents who sell commercial lines indicating that they plan to implement commercial lines download within the next two years.
Currently, more than 10,000 agencies, using 16 different agency management systems, are conducting commercial lines download via IVANS E-Commerce Server (ECS). When asked about the potential benefits of commercial lines download, 93 percent of agencies surveyed said it saves time, generates more accurate information and enables them to respond more quickly to their customers.
