This is the eighth consecutive year that Blue Frog has won ACORD awards, which recognize outstanding achievements for ACORD standards implementations that highlight business value, business opportunities and standards-based electronic communications with trading partners.
"The fact that Blue Frog has won ACORD awards each year since the awards began in 1999 demonstrates the firm's commitment to ACORD standards and the industry," notes Brad Levine, CEO of Blue Frog Solutions. "And ACORD continues to use Blue Frog's ADMServer technology to help support and maintain the XMLife standards."
This year, Blue Frog won the Web Services/Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) award, the newest of the Early Adopter Awards, for implementation of the Annuity and Life standard. In addition to the Web Services/SOA award, Blue Frog Solutions also received two additional awards from ACORD. These include a Certification Award for the Appointment Request message and an Early Adopter Award for the Distribution Agreement Update message and the Appointment Request message.
"We want to congratulate ACORD as it celebrates its 10th anniversary of publishing Life Standards. Blue Frog has been by ACORD's side all the way, involved in the Life Standards process since the beginning," Levine says.
