East Lansing, MI – June 30, 2015 – Vertafore, the leading provider of software that transforms the business of insurance, today announced the addition of Maryland as a Sircon® State effective immediately. Since 1997, Sircon for States® web-based solution has been the most trusted name in state-based insurance regulatory applications. Maryland joins the growing list of states using Vertafore’s industry leading suite of web-based services designed specifically with the insurance regulator in mind. With the addition of Maryland, nearly half of all States in the country rely on Vertafore solutions to provide an automated and efficient way to manage, process, and track critical information about insurance companies, agencies, and individual producers.
For the past 18 years, Sircon has provided state-based insurance regulatory solutions that streamline communication and automate processes between producers, carriers, agents, agencies, and continuing education providers. Vertafore dedicates a team of regulatory experts who service Sircon States, in turn benefiting industry partners by providing up-to-date regulatory information and protecting the security of producer data.
As a Sircon State, Maryland will gain the ability to conduct business more efficiently with a single system for handling producer continuing education (CE) information. Maryland will also be able to provide a number of benefits to the various stakeholders in producer lifecycle management:
For producers:
- Continuing Education Transcript Inquiry
- Approved Courses Inquiry
- Approved Providers Inquiry
- Available Course Offerings Inquiry
- Approved Instructor Inquiry
For education providers:
- Continuing Education Course Completions
- Continuing Education Course Application
- Course Renewal
- Provider Application
- Classroom Offering Maintenance
- Course Completion Certificates
- Instructor Application
From a broader perspective, Maryland and Vertafore’s industry partners who conduct business in the state will benefit from improved visibility of CE compliance status and the ability to process information from a single source—simplifying what had previously been a series of strenuous processes.
“Maryland will be able to track licensed individuals more efficiently with a single system for handling continuing education information and offering industry partners new services with improved visibility for CE compliancy from a single source.” said David DeCamp, professional services product manager at Vertafore. “We look forward to continuing to grow our state partnerships to provide easily manageable connections to CE information.”
