For carriers,
assisting agents with password issues accounts for
a lot of time, money and effort.
Irv Kantar, business manager for ID Federation, highlights how carrier participation with SignOn Once can ease password pain for carriers -- and for the agents who sell and service their products.
How do carriers benefit from SignOn Once?
There are products to store passwords, but SignOn Once is unique. Its framework is based on technology that allows a user to have only one password for all participating carrier partners. Carriers tell us it can c
ost them up to
$150 every time they have to fix or reset a user password. SignOn Once eliminates that cost. Imagine the time and resources that can be re-directed to core business, once password problems are alleviated.
Of course, the biggest benefit for carriers is making it easier for agents to do business with them, and password relief has long been on the agent wish list.
What can carriers do to get started?
The first step is to get this budgeted and on your project roadmap. Once a carrier joins, representatives are welcome to participate in our committees and help maintain the framework to remain current with technology and the industry. I am available to answer any questions and to provide additional information on the SignOn Once process.
What are ID Federation's priorities in 2018?
ID Federation committees are actively reviewing current documentation and web site content, and will be updating all in the next few months. We are also in discussions with additional carriers and solution providers and expect to add partners this year. And we're always looking at ways to help agents encourage their carriers to join ID Federation and get started toward offering SignOn Once.
