Veruna won the ACORD 2016 Insurance Innovation Challenge (AIIC) at the recently concluded ACORD2016 event. The AIIC is a global innovation competition/business incubator hybrid which identifies and promotes technology that can transform the way we think about insurance, and delivers sustainable innovation within the industry, specifically in the areas of technology, operations and process improvements for insurers, distribution channel stakeholders and vendor partners. Veruna's award is based on its innovative ACORD eForms connector integration.
Veruna also received the exclusive ACORD Industry Leadership Award, given in recognition of the company's leadership in delivering trailblazing technology that will be leveraged by users of ACORD Standards to gain measurable advances in performance, cost savings or speed-to-project completion.
"Our team embraced the challenge of creating technology that reduces complexity and improves usability for independent insurance agency owners, producers and operations staff," said Jai Mistry, principal solutions architect at Veruna. "This is just the beginning of the many ways we plan to disrupt legacy insurance agency management systems."
Veruna AMR leverages Salesforce to deliver a best-of-breed user experience based on the actual needs of insurance agents. With a natively mobile interface, open platform and the power to customize functionality, Veruna AMR provides unprecedented control with agency management technology that powers growth for the modern insurance agency.
