Specialty Information Resources Online
The Mother of All Link Lists

Insurance Periodicals Online

You'll find lots of resources on the Web that mirror resources that you're used to in print. Here are a few of my favorites.

Online-Only Insurance Sites

Sometimes a site doesn't match up with any print equivalent.

Property and Casualty bills itself as "the online marketplace for industry professionals." It's run by VerticalNet. There's news here as well as other resources.

Insurance Associations Online

Insurance and Technology Resources

CMP publishes several magazines and Web sites that deal with technology and the net and the ways they affect business in the Digital Age. The one for the insurance business is called Insurance and Technology Online. There's also one for the retail financial services industry that's called Finance and Technology Network.

The Insurance Technology Coalition provides education and information to public and private entities involved in the creation of public policy that affects the insurance industry.

Twenty-one insurance companies founded in 1983 as an industry network, providing a focal point for conducting business in the insurance industry electronically. IVANS conducts surveys and studies about the state of technology in the insurance industry.

The Insurance Systems & Technology Benchmarking Association is an association of insurance information systems and technology professionals within companies.

ACORD, the Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development, is the insurance industry's nonprofit standards developer, a resource for information about object technology, EDI, XML and electronic commerce in the United States and abroad.

Selling with Technology.com is a site devoted to selling insurance online. You may or may not want to do what they suggest, but you should check out what they've got to say.

Specialty Information Resources Online

FEMA has lots of information on its site, including a special section on Flood Insurance.

Cornell University has an extensive sub-site with information on insurance law.

The Marine Insurance Megasite strives to have everything available on that topic.

The NCCI site deals with compensation insurance issues.

The National Underwriter Company has a variety of periodical and other informational and news sites that all start from their main site.

The Risk Insurance and Management Society runs a site that's a gateway for related information.

The Mother of All Link Lists

There is one site that has the most extensive collection of links that I've seen in any industry, anywhere. It's compiled by G. Barry Klein, CPCU, CLU and updated frequently. It's called, very appropriately, Ultimate Insurance Links.
