iter8, an insurance solutions software developer, and Appulate a provider of forms parsing and data bridging technology, announce a partnership in which iter8 will offer Appulate Uplink as an integrated part of iter8 product and service solutions.

The partnership will enable Appulate to broaden the reach of the Uplink solution, and through integration to iter8's communic8 software ensure that the flow of data from agency management system to carrier policy administration system is smooth, easy to use, and effective.

Insurance agents seeking an effective method to submit ACORD form pdf files to single or multiple insurance carriers can use Uplink. Uplink can be used to bridge ACORD forms directly out of an agent's management system or it can be used as a back-office tool to extract data from pdf forms.

As a back-office tool, Uplink recognizes and processes pdf forms through its data recognition engine or through an OCR process. Insurance carriers can then use communic8, the iter8 connectivity hub solution, and integrate the information with core systems, or apply business logic to validate, update or qualify the information.

“We are very excited to work with iter8 so that we can draw upon their resources, reach out to more insurance companies, and leverage their exciting integration products to extend the value added we bring to insurers,” says Dimitri Nikouline, co-founder and CTO of Appulate. “The partnership will be successful because each company has a strong track record of success in developing market leading technology.”

Glen Piller, president of iter8, adds: “Appulate Uplink is a proven winner, and I am very pleased we are able to offer it to our customers and combine it with communic8. Now we can offer solutions that take data from the agent in the form of an ACORD pdf file, and move it right to a carrier's policy administration system, enabling real-time integration.
