NAILBA-ACORD XML

Life Standards

2 Day Training Program tailored for NAILBA participants

In 1999, ACORD and NAILBA announced that they will work together to develop an XML-based standard for life insurance. The two groups worked actively together since that time developing and enhancing the XML standards to meet the needs of the NAILBA community. NAILBA has developed implementation guides documenting the requirements when implementing ACORD XML for communicating to the agencies. Furthermore, the NAILBA Technology Committee has formally requested that carriers convert from the existing NAILBA data standards to the ACORD XML standard. Not making this conversion is keeping agencies from obtaining more complete and timely information.

This training class will help ensure you can meet the request of the Technology Committee and make the shift to ACORD XML as painless as possible. This training class will break this standard into manageable pieces to ensure you obtain an in-depth understanding of both the data structure (XMLife) and transaction layer (TXLife). It emphasizes the areas that the NAILBA community is looking to take immediate advantage of, including new business processing (application upload and pending status) and commission information. Use for in-force processing will also be covered. Specific use cases demonstrating how to model real-life situations will be utilized as the basis of this class. The relationship and mappings between the existing NAILBA feeds and the XMLife will also be reviewed.

The course is based on the most recent official version of the standard published by ACORD to date.

Topics include:

Structural walkthrough of:

	Parties (persons and organizations)
	Various types of insurance including life insurance, disability, health and annuities
	Investments contracts
	Financial Activities, arrangements and statements

Use cases demonstrating how to:

	Use relationships
	Support the new business process for processes such as pending status information, requesting requirements and uploading application information

	Support the download of commission information
	Use the model to represent in-force information
	Use of attachments for sending images

Transaction Structure:

Difference between XMLife and TXLife / when and how to use both

Detailed walkthrough of XMLife and TXLife Structure

Mappings with specific use cases showing how each NAILBA feed would look in XML

A look at new business workflow and what messages you use to perform which function

Architectural considerations for utilizing transaction response processing

Future enhancements to transaction structure based on pilot versions or working group proposals

Additional topics as requested by students in advance

Prepare in advance:

Use your time wisely and provide the instructor with specific issues you are trying to work through. When feasible, examples provided at least one week prior to the course will be worked into the use cases.

Target Audience:

This class targets business analysts and developers who are trying to use XMLife to support the NAILBA community. Students should already have basic XML knowledge. Vallue's XML Basics course serves as a pre-requisite.
