Toronto, ON (Oct. 9, 2014) – The Centre for Study of Insurance Operations (CSIO) is pleased to announce that SGI CANADA has achieved CSIO Certification for its eDocs solution.
“At SGI CANADA we strive to help our partners save time and money and make business more convenient for customers,” says Andrew Cartmell, President & CEO. “Implementing the use of eDocs and achieving certification from CSIO shows our commitment to continuously improve the way we approach our business processes. We are committed to our broker-facing technology and will continue to work on increasing the efficiency of our eServices, and improving the ease of doing business with SGI CANADA.”
CSIO data exchange standards are company neutral and help solve data compatibility issues, facilitate more efficient and seamless integration of information and improve implementation of technology solutions. CSIO Certification is available to member insurance companies and vendors. eDocs is the first business activity available for certification, with plans to expand the program to cover other activities.
“We congratulate SGI CANADA on obtaining CSIO Certification for eDocs,” says Catherine Smola, President & CEO of CSIO. “SGI CANADA’s certification is reflective of its continued commitment to deliver technology solutions for its broker partners that improve workflow efficiencies and ultimately provide customers with the exceptional customer service they have come to expect.”
Since its launch, the CSIO eDocs standard has seen a significant increase in adoption across the broker channel. To assist brokers in calculating the time and costs savings of eDocs, CSIO has developed an eDocs Savings Calculator. SGI CANADA brokers can use the CSIO eDocs Calculator to determine daily, monthly and yearly time and cost savings gained through the adoption of eDocs.
