(Toronto – May 6, 2015) The Centre for Study of Insurance Operations (CSIO) is pleased to announce that Portage la Prairie Mutual Insurance Company has achieved CSIO Certification for its eDocs solution.
“Promoting the independent broker channel delivery model is one of our core company values,” affirms Randy Owens, Corporate Business Development Manager at Portage. “The development of the eDocs platform for electronic exchange of documents between Portage Mutual and our broker partners is one more testament to our long-term commitment to supporting the broker channel, which we firmly believe is the best choice for customers looking for professional and reliable guidance today and in the future.”
