Ebix Team Up Upload extends and enhances the capabilities of agency products by providing the "carrier side" of the transaction.

Carrier-side Processing

Carrier web sites provide real-time solutions for agencies. Bridging data from the management system to the web site eliminates the only real complaint, duplicate data entry that agents have in dealing with carrier sites.
Ebix has been a pioneer of upload bridging (sometimes referred to as a 'hybrid' interface). Ebix Team Up Upload will provide the following services and benefits that are essential for an efficient and successful implementation:

• Full support for ACORD standards
• Account for inconsistencies within the source XML within TEAM-UP preprocessing
• Pre-qualify data passed from agency vendor systems
• Verification of data against Client schema and data requirements
• Workflow processing providing transactional integrity and error handling for all transactions
• Eliminate "carrier unique" edits at the agency

Ebix has over twelve years of experience and expertise interfacing agency with Carrier systems

• Time-to-market significantly reduced
• Experience with all major agency systems
• Quickly assessing interface needs and anticipating common interface obstacles
• Experienced implementing Transformation Station as a "bridge"
• Experienced bridging data from AMS
• Experienced incorporating 3rd party or in-house data access layers
