IBAM Tech Talk – CSIO

October 7, 2026, 12:00 - 1:00 PM

Building Better Broker Experiences Through Industry Standards

presented by Erin Cleyndert, Vice President, Operations & Strategic Enablement at CSIO

This webinar will explore how industry standards are quietly transforming the broker experience by creating a more connected, efficient, and future-ready insurance ecosystem. Participants will gain insight into CSIO's role in developing and advancing the standards that enable seamless collaboration among brokers, insurers, and technology providers.

Practical examples will demonstrate how standards support broker workflows by enabling eDocs and policy downloads, eliminating custom Z-Codes, simplifying everyday workflows, reducing manual effort, and improving the flow of information across the broker channel. The session will highlight how these innovations help brokers spend less time on administration and more time delivering trusted advice and exceptional client service.

The discussion will also examine CSIO’s collaborative approach to addressing industry-wide operational challenges and the measurable benefits organizations realize when standards are broadly adopted. Looking ahead, the webinar will explore the growing influence of artificial intelligence in insurance and why standardized, high-quality data is essential to unlocking AI’s full potential. Attendees will leave with a deeper appreciation of how industry standards not only improve operations today but also lay the groundwork for innovation and digital transformation.
