Unica Insurance Obtains CSIO Certification for eDocs
|
(Toronto – January 13, 2015) The Centre for Study of Insurance Operations (CSIO) is pleased to announce that Unica Insurance has achieved CSIO Certification for its eDocs solution.
“Unica is very proud to receive formal recognition of our eDocs solution by CSIO’s Certification program,” said Martin Delage, President and COO at Unica Insurance. “Since our initial roll-out back in October 2013, we’re thrilled to see the majority of our broker partners have elected to receive their policy documents electronically. In keeping with Unica’s commitment to technology investment to help our brokers, we have now expanded our eDocs offering to include Commercial Insurance policy documents. This will further reduce the amount of paper our brokers need to handle and will bring additional efficiencies to their everyday processes.”
When eDocs are used to their full potential, sending, receiving, sorting, scanning and destroying paper is no longer necessary, saving the industry significant amounts of time and money. When used in commercial lines, these savings are not only further realized but offer improved workflows resulting in an enhanced customer experience.
“We congratulate Unica Insurance on obtaining CSIO Certification for eDocs, and for its initiative in implementing eDocs for commercial as well as personal lines,” says Catherine Smola, President & CEO of CSIO. “With a certified solution available for both lines of business, Unica continues to demonstrate its ongoing commitment to investments in technology that streamline workflows and maximize efficiency for its broker partners.”
