IVANS Distribution Platform connects commercial insurers, MGAs, MGUs and distribution partners to the widest distribution network of independent insurance agencies for a more automated commercial lines experience and expanded distribution through one access point. Working with industry-wide technology solutions allows agents access to digital submissions within their daily workflows, and creates standardization and consistency in commercial lines distribution, quoting and binding.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>\u201cSeeing new ways to solve old problems is really exciting,\u201d said Deb Smallwood, senior partner, Strategy Meets Action. \u201cWhat I love about the IVANS platform is that it creates the plumbing. From an agent point of view, they have to wait for the carrier to connect. From carrier side, they have to create all these connections. If someone is in middle doing that, it allows the flow of data that is what we want as an industry. To me, the IVANS Distribution Platform is potentially a game changer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>IVANS Distribution Platform improves the entire commercial lines policy lifecycle. Unlike point solutions available in the market, IVANS Distribution Platform supports both straight through processing as well as more complex risks that require an underwriter\u2019s attention. By identifying market appetite as part of the process, IVANS Distribution Platform increases efficiencies and submission volume and can lower declination rates. By supporting a broad set of commercial line types, the platform provides valuable data insights for insurers and MGAs to review submission and quote details against industry benchmarks.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>IVANS Distribution Platform enables:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Expansion of distribution channels through enhanced agency awareness in new partners<\/li>\n<li>Ease of doing business by automating the connection between agencies and distribution partners through existing technology<\/li>\n<li>Strength in current agency relationships by providing connectivity within agencies\u2019 daily workflows<\/li>\n<li>Value of investments in current technology using flexible connectivity technology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand that not all types of commercial insurance can be handled the same way and that each market supports various levels of automation for commercial lines quoting,\u201d said Reid Holzworth, chief executive officer, IVANS Insurance Solutions. \u201cIVANS Distribution Platform provides flexibility and choice to plug existing partner technologies into a single access point to connect the entire distribution chain, allowing for more automated commercial lines submission \u2013 no matter the type of risk \u2013 that results in more profitable relationships, higher win rates, and lower cycle times across the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>\n        <i>The IVANS logos are trademarks of Applied Systems, Inc., registered in the U.S.<\/i>\n      <\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>\n        <b>About IVANS <\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>IVANS, a division of Applied Systems, is the insurance industry\u2019s exchange connecting insurers, MGAs, agencies, and the insured.
