XML Standards Integration Solutions for Insurance

Integration Tools for Implementing EDI and XML Standards Including ACORD, AL3, CITS, CLIEDIS, DTCC, HIPAA and NAILBA

As the leading standards organization for the insurance industry, ACORD's mission is to facilitate the development of open consensus data standards and standard forms. Our mission, on the other hand, is to help organizations implement these standards faster and more nimbly than ever before possible.

PilotFish is a recognized leader in tools for ACORD implementations, and ACORD is itself a licensee of PilotFish software. PilotFish software is also the engine behind the ACORD Testing and Certification Facility (TCF) that is used to validate ACORD members' messages. PilotFish Technology and ACORD collaborated on the development of the XCS eiConsole for ACORD. ACORD has listed the software under its Third Party Tools offering on the ACORD website and has made it available for download. Our tools, ACORD subject matter expertise and long term commitment to the ACORD standard are some of the reasons why ACORD asked us to participate in their ACORD Certified Expert (ACE) program.

As ACORD experts, PilotFish Offers Comprehensive Insurance and ACORD-Specific Solutions for Life, Annuities & Health, Property & Casualty, Reinsurance and DTCC

These offerings include the:

ACORD Model Viewer

The ACORD Model Viewer is a free Web-based reference for the ACORD PCS and LAH Data Models. Click here to go to the ACORD Model Viewer.

Features of the ACORD Model Viewer include:

• Complete documentation of both the ACORD PCS and LAH model, including all code lists / type codes.
• Menu-driven selection of the ACORD Model and version number.
• Tree-based navigation system, similar to a file system explorer.
• Full-featured search.
• Sortable TypeCode/Codelist tables.
• Entity, Aggregate and All-Inclusive indexes.
• Extensively hyperlinked, graphically enhanced entity definitions.

Validation Server

This component enables the automated validation and certification of trading partners' messages to standardize initial and ongoing information exchange. A company that is receiving the same messages from multiple trading partners (for example, a TxLife 103) can "publish" their message formats and rules to allow the trading partners to test their message transactions before going "live". ACORD and DTCC both use the PilotFish Validation Server installed at ACORD to validate and certify member messages.
