The leaders of the IIABA's Agents Council for Technology (ACT) and ACORD's User Group Information Exchange (AUGIE) recently concluded joint planning sessions and agreed to work together to advance four important industry priorities in 2013: ID Federation, real time, e-signatures, and client self-service capabilities.

“Carriers and vendors frequently ask the agents to identify their key technology-related priorities that they would like to see the whole industry get behind and adopt,” says Jim Armitage, ACT chairman and vice president of Arroyo Insurance in Arcadia, Calif. “We have now done that and encourage industry leaders to support these priorities and implement them.”

ACT and AUGIE have worked together on numerous issues in recent years and this recent effort is part of that continuing partnership.
