Document Sciences Corporation and PureEdge Solutions, Inc. announced a marketing partnership that enables front to back-end automation of insurance policy production. The partnership joins PureEdge’s ACORD XML-based e-forms solution with Document Sciences’ ISO-forms based xPression policy generation solution. ACORD forms are a standard in gathering policyholder data for property and casualty insurance transaction processing, and ISO forms are utilized by P&C insurers to present information. PureEdge’s technology converts ACORD forms into XML e-forms. Data gathered via the forms is sent to the insurer’s administration system for rating and underwriting, and then on to Document Sciences’ xPression for generation of a proposal or policy. xPression uses XML-based business rules to pull the appropriate data and content from the administration system and assemble the content for the appropriate ISO form. The forms can then be delivered to policyholders, agents and brokers through print or electronic channels. www.docscience.com
