Nashville, Tenn. (PRWEB) March 23, 2017 -- Vertafore, the leader in modern insurance technology, announced the company has achieved full certification of the ID Federation SignOn OnceSM solution to address the industry-wide credential management concerns faced by agencies and carriers. SignOn Once enables one identity to replace multiple IDs and passwords for insurance system users, ensuring secure and real-time transactions. Vertafore, a founding member of the non-profit ID Federation organization, is the only agency management system provider currently certified to offer SignOn Once to customers.

“From the beginning of this journey in 2014, Vertafore has been a trusted advisor and partner to the ID Federation,” said Steve Aronson, president of Aronson Insurance and director of ID Federation. “The culmination of this work has led to a great result – today, with Vertafore’s certification, our SignOn Once solution can be a resource for more than 25,000 Vertafore customers.”

Insurance professionals consistently rank password management as the number one pain-point in day-to-day operations, citing lost productivity and security risks due to the hundreds of access credentials required for daily tasks. SignOn Once removes the barriers to efficient communication by providing an easy-to-use and secure way of limiting ID and password proliferation, simultaneously streamlining account management processes and securing information and records. Carriers participating in SignOn Once also have a competitive advantage, increasing the likelihood of “carrier of choice” status with agency partners.

“Our partnership with the ID Federation enables our customers to make faster, easier, more secure transactions, which ultimately improves customer service and closes more sales – it’s a great win for the industry,” said Bruce Winterburn, VP of Industry Relations for Vertafore. “In particular, our carrier customers rely on our solutions to improve business processes and strengthen agency connections, and our SignOn Once certification helps us deliver on that promise.”

More information about Vertafore’s SignOn Once certification will be shared at the Vertafore Connectivity Forum, a series of sessions that will help carriers stand out and become a leading agency partner.
