ACORD Solutions Group announces new user portal for ADEPT platform

ACORD Solutions Group (ASG), the subsidiary of global insurance standard-setting body ACORD, has announced the launch of a service layer for users of its data exchange platform ADEPT. This new portal has been tailored for users of ADEPT for Global Reinsurance & Large Commercial (GRLC) Accounting & Claims. 

ADEPT enables real-time data exchange, translation, and transformation to link trading partners and provide data structure, validation, and reconciliation across different business functions. The added user portal works on top of ADEPT’s RESTful APIs to enhance user access to the platform throughout the global insurance community, allowing stakeholders to connect via their preferred channels and interact with a broad range of senders and receivers.

Through the ADEPT user portal, insurers and brokers will be able to send and receive Accounting & Claims transactions even if they are unable to connect to the platform’s APIs. The portal allows users to enact a full two-way workflow with counterparties also on ADEPT or those on their own ACORD gateway, enabling integration with clients of vendors through the ACORD Licensed Integrator Partner community. It also includes special features such as custom reports and transactions downloads.

“The new ADEPT Portal is an easy way to access the benefits of standardised global data exchange,” said Chris Newman, global managing director at ACORD. “Even those who are unfamiliar with the GRLC Standards will be able to quickly automate their inward and outward data exchange, and integrate with the global insurance ecosystem.”

Several ADEPT users have already connected via the ADEPT portal, said ASG in a statement, including SCOR and Echo Re.

“ADEPT has proven to be a sound platform, with standardised data exchange capabilities that have covered a large number of complex use cases we have come across,” said Roman Kazancev, CTO of Jean Edwards Consulting, a global consultancy firm that has implemented ADEPT on behalf insurance and broking clients. “ADEPT has been consistently well received by a number of our reinsurance clients, and implementation is very straightforward with the assistance of the responsive ACORD Solutions team.”
