New CSIOnet Platform - September 2015

With the tremendous success of eDocs and our growing membership base, CSIOnet has seen significant increases in daily transaction traffic. To ensure CSIO continues to provide its members with the fastest and most secure means of exchanging insurance information, last year, CSIO launched a major industry initiative to re-engineer the existing CSIOnet platform. Partnering with its network service provider, TELUS, CSIO worked closely with its members over the past several months to build a new CSIOnet platform that now includes the following key features:

• Improved performance with increased processing power to meet rising transaction volume demands (e.g., more eDocs transferred per minute)
• Higher availability for improved recoverability
• Interface extensibility to enable enhanced features like web services integration 
• Separate testing environment
• Backward compatibility with existing member adapters

eDocs and CSIOnet

CSIO eDocs saves the P&C industry time and money by allowing policy documents (usually PDFs) to be downloaded directly from an insurer’s system to a broker’s BMS via CSIOnet. The transmitted documents are then stored automatically in the broker’s BMS without the need for manual intervention.

Since its release in 2012, eDocs has seen tremendous success with significant adoption across the nation and considerable growth in daily transaction traffic on CSIOnet.  

“It can be challenging for brokers to transact business with multiple insurers, each with their own portals, but CSIO brings it all together with industry standards such as EDI/XML download and eDocs. Our brokers who make the most of these tools consistently report increased efficiencies and an improved customer experience.”
