Insurance Digital Revolution Announces First Gold and Silver Sponsors
NEW YORK, April 21, 2016 – The Insurance Digital Revolution (IDR) announced its first sponsors, including Gold Level Sponsors: Applied Systems, Nationwide Insurance, and Vertafore; and Silver Level Sponsors, The Cincinnati Insurance Companies and NetVU.
IDR is an industry campaign, organized by ACT, AUGIE and PIA, to drive technology adoption to better serve the insurance customer. Based on the understanding that today’s consumers and businesses expect to use technology to research, buy and get service on their insurance, IDR was created to educate and motivate independent agents, along with carriers and vendors, to access and implement the right technologies to create a seamless and positive experience for their customers.
The Gold and Silver Sponsors of IDR receive three seats on the Advisory Council – two company seats and each company is also able to appoint an agent representative. In partnership with the organizers of the IDR, the Advisory Council drives the campaign and guides the agenda. They also help facilitate the programs, including the benchmark survey, Insurance Digital Transformation Study, which is currently being analyzed and will be released soon.
IDR is actively looking to grow its community. Sponsorships are available at the Gold ($5,000/year), Silver ($2,500/year) and Bronze ($1,000/year) levels. There are also opportunities for agents and individuals to sponsor the initiative at $500 and $250 levels.
