ISO Delivers Circulars, Policy Forms and CLM Information Over The Internet

N/Ars and reinsurers are now able to access <%=company%> (ISO) circulars, policy forms and Commercial Lines Manual (CLM) information over the World Wide Web through ISO's Internet delivery system, called ISOnet.

"Making circulars, policy forms and Commercial Lines Manual information available on ISOnet is just the first phase of the delivery of ISO's products over the Internet," said Donald J. Rainone, ISO's executive vice president of marketing and strategic planning. "To keep pace with our customers' needs, ISO is moving toward using the Internet as a primary delivery channel for our products."

Rainone explained that ISOnet will improve employee productivity, speed up research, eliminate tracking of paper documents, and reduce filing and storage expense.

ISOnet will provide customers real-time access to ISO's online reference library of both current and historical documents: three years' worth of circulars, personal and commercial lines policy forms in effect since January 1995, and information from the current Commercial Lines Manual and up to two previous versions.

ISOnet electronically stores more than 12,000 ISO circulars issued since 1995, and more than 5,000 personal and commercial lines' policy forms. In paper format, these documents total over half-a-million pages that, if stacked vertically, would be as high as a 20-story building. The 25,000-plus-page Commercial Lines Manual available on ISOnet would fill 50 volumes in paper form.
