onMessage certified by ACORD

Perspective Technologies today announced that ACORD have certified the onMessage system as compliant to their messaging standard (ACORD Messaging Service 1.1).

onMessage is an ACORD messaging gateway that can be used by bureaus, brokers or insurers for secure and reliable data exchange. Incorporating a full message viewer for all incoming and outgoing messages, onMessage enables quick connection to ACORD-based London initiatives such as Electronic Claim Files (ECF) and Accounting & Settlement (A&S). The system has also been designed to allow easy integration with any existing in-house system.

Perspective director Dave Wichmann said "The technology challenge now facing the London Market is to effectively adopt web service communications between trading partners. The industry standard driving this is ACORD. onMessage is an enabler that allows brokers and insurers, both large and small, to benefit from these initiatives without significant amendment to existing systems."

"We congratulate Perspective on their certification," said Denise Garth, vice president, Membership and Standards, ACORD, adding that "they have shown their recognition of the importance of standards and their commitment to the implementation of ACORD Standards in the London Market."
