Our staff has extensive
experience working with insurance models and applications, the ACORD
standards, and XML technologies. In
this niche, all roads lead to us. Most of the major vendors and
insurance companies, and even ACORD themselves, rely on Vallue Consulting to
facilitate and support their ACORD direction and implementations.
About
the President
Equally
fervent about the karaoke arts, roller disco, and handstands, Tana Sabatino is also recognized in the
industry as the leading authority on ACORD standards and insurance XML. Tana formerly headed up ACORD's standards
efforts and was instrumental in much of the success ACORD has had in meeting
the challenges of a continuously changing industry. She has trained thousands
of people on XML and has mapped hundreds of different systems to the ACORD
standards.
Within
the ranks of the insurance industry, Tana is best known for her remarkable knowledge of standards related trivia, her refusal to discuss business during mealtime,
and her ability to skate through a conference hall while carrying a
microphone. The exceptional perspective provided by this knowledgeable
resource will prove both entertaining and indispensable for anyone implementing XML in the insurance industry.

Bragging Rights
Tana is seen here clowning
around with her son, Lucas, who attended his first ACORD meeting in June 2004 at the age
of 2 weeks, breaking the record for the youngest 'first timer'.
