The ACORD XML forms integration service combines a set of intelligent forms, process-specific business rules and data-transformation capabilities to automate data entry and processing of insurance forms.
The solution combines Adobe LiveCycle Forms, Adobe LiveCycle Designer, Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions, Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms software and Itemfield ContentMaster with the new ACORD PDF fillable forms.
The ACORD XML enables insurance carriers to more effectively create and share information across the extended enterprise, by combining the business logic and data exchange capabilities of ACORD XML with the Adobe PDF. The solution enables agents and brokers to participate in document-based workflows – using the Adobe Reader or a web browser – that integrate with existing insurance applications.
Adobe has also worked with the Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development (ACORD) to deliver more than 150 ACORD insurance forms in PDF format. Through the new ACCORD PDF fillable forms insurance companies, agencies and vendors can automate and simplify customer communication, capture data more accurately and securely, and reduce re-keying costs and errors associated with manual data entry.
Delivery of additional ACORD fillable forms will be provided on a phased approach between April and September 2006.
