Secure communications between insurance agents, insurers, and banks

XML standards such as ACORD allow insurance companies to conduct business automatically with insurance agents and with banks. However, this XML traffic must be managed and secured.

Vordel's products allow insurance companies to adopt XML with confidence, by providing control over XML traffic to ensure that the openness of XML does not compromise security.

Vordel Solution

Vordel's products provide insurers with the confidence to extend their back-office systems and services to banks and insurance agents. By securely automating direct system-to-system integration, insurers can extract added value from the creation of an XML-based processing environment.

Compliance with stringent regulatory guidelines By logging and archiving all Web Services-based transactions, Vordel's products enable compliance with the retention requirements and corporate governance policies of regulatory bodies (including Sarbanes-Oxley). Vordel's management controls for auditing and non-repudiation ensure message integrity and the enforcement of Service Level Agreements.

High Performance XML Processing
Vordel's patented core VXA acceleration engine processes XML security primitives at high speed, ensuring that the processing of XML security is optimized once offloaded from application servers and placed onto the Vordel product infrastructure.

Reduce software development costs
Using Vordel's products, insurers put control of XML into the network, putting it into the hands of operations staff, rather than developers. Vordel's products allow XML traffic to be managed through an intuitive administration interface. This means that the need to maintain and support custom developed code is no longer an administration headache.

Faster time to market for new products and services and increased customer loyalty
By securing the XML infrastructure, Vordel enables insurers to exploit the improved efficiencies for delivery of new products and services to agent and banks. User loyalty is inspired with the increased confidence in transmission of sensitive data.
