(Toronto – March 12, 2025) CSIO is pleased to congratulate Vertafore Canada (Vertafore) on achieving CSIO’s eDocs Certification by implementing the 40 updated eDocs codes and descriptions into their SIG Broker Management System (BMS).

Vertafore programming the updated eDocs Standards ensures that descriptions are consistently labelled when insurers send eDocs to brokers. This is a significant advantage for brokers as it eliminates the need to open every eDoc to determine if action is required, saving them time and optimizing their workflows. Once the updated eDocs are released into production by their insurer partners, the latest codes and descriptions will be available to brokers in their BMS.

“In a rapidly changing insurance landscape, we are firmly committed to integrating modern, simplified technology that drives automation in the broker distribution channel,” said Natasha Joyal, Senior Director of Development at Vertafore Canada. “Having deployed the changes in 2024, we are proud to earn the eDocs Certification as Vertafore Canada continuously strives to provide brokers with every opportunity for further enhancements to customer service and connectivity with insurers.”

“CSIO’s eDocs initiative is a key industry priority to increase workflow efficiency for brokers,” said Kathryn Sinclair, Interim President at CSIO. “By implementing the updated eDocs and obtaining Certification, Vertafore is dedicated to improving and streamlining broker operations.”

All BMS vendors have deployed the updated eDocs into production and more insurers will deploy them in 2025. To apply for eDocs Certification, insurers can download CSIO’s eDocs Business Requirements and Certification Document.
