Adobe and Itemfield Demonstrate Joint Solution for the Insurance Industry

 Demonstrated this week at the ACORD/LOMA Conference in Las Vegas, the ACORD XML forms integration solution combines a set of intelligent forms, process-specific business rules and data-transformation capabilities to automate data entry and processing of insurance forms. The solution combines Adobe® LiveCycle® Forms, Adobe LiveCycle Designer, Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions, Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms software and Itemfield ContentMaster with the new ACORD Portable Document Format (PDF) fillable Forms (also announced today).

 The ACORD XML forms integration solution makes it easier for insurance carriers to more effectively create and share information across the extended enterprise, by combining the business logic and data exchange capabilities of ACORD XML with the visual fidelity, security and reliability of Adobe PDF. The solution enables agents and brokers to participate in document-based workflows ? using the Adobe Reader® or a web browser ? that integrate with existing insurance applications. The solution also supports and integrates all of the versions of the ACORD XML standard.

ACORD forms can be pre-populated, and information captured within the solution can be delivered back into insurance applications. The solution also makes it easy for insurance carriers to apply business and security policies and rules to business processes helping to ensure compliance with corporate, industry and government mandates.
