IVANS, Inc. announces it has launched an enhanced Insurance Carrier Exchange (ICE) website to provide an easier way for carriers to manage the process of doing business electronically with their independent agents.  IVANS ICE is the platform that carriers use to register agents and manage the distribution of policy and claims information electronically in batch format to the agents' agency management systems.

This new IVANS ICE website was designed to simplify the carrier's management of the data they send via IVANS ECS solution.  Using industry-standard formats, IVANS ECS allows carriers to download data to electronic mailboxes, enabling agents to use an automated process to pick up their policy data and load into the agency management system, without manual workflows on the part of the agency staff. 

"IVANS is constantly working with our carriers and agents to implement enhancements to our agency interface solutions," says Jim Ochiltree, president, IVANS Property-Casualty Services.  "Today, IVANS has more than 224,000 connections between agencies and carriers and we are committed to providing solutions that makes it easy for carriers to manage these connections, which IVANS ICE does."
