May 28, 2010 – Thousand Oaks, CA – VRC Insurance Systems, Inc. today announced the completion of its integration with Appulate’s “Uplink” data bridge technology.

The two companies came together in an effort to join their solutions and provide a way for agents using VRC’s management system to be able to electronically submit First Notice of Loss (“FNOL”) forms to interested carriers using the ACORD XML standards. “We see this capability as a great added value to our agency constituency”.,” said Tom Turgeon, Executive Vice President, VRC Insurance Systems.

The “proof of concept” consisted of VRC using Uplink to upload several ACORD 1 forms (workers’ compensation FNOL). Uplink provided each of these outputs as standard ACORD XML data and delivered this to a participating carrier. The result allows VRC customers to streamline their business processes and reduce data entry for all stakeholders involved. “VRC offers a best of breed solution to its agents and we are very fortunate to have an opportunity to work with them”, said Dimitri Nikouline, Appulate’s Chief Technology Officer.

The two companies will continue to develop an increasingly close relationship. Both are recognized as industry leaders and located just 3 miles apart in Southern California.

Founded in 2005, Appulate provides a best of breed bridging technology that allows retail agents to send ACORD, supplemental, loss and other data to carriers, wholesale brokerages, MGA and TPA receivers. Using the ACORD XML standards, Appulate offers an unprecedented level of connectivity to streamline business processes of the insurance industry.
