Guidance for Carriers & Vendors (Revised December 7, 2011)
This report, developed by the Agency Real-Time Experience Work Group of the Real Time/Download Campaign, will provide a very useful roadmap for carriers and vendors whether they are implementing real-time transactions for the first time or enhancing and expanding their current real-time capabilities. This implementation tool spells out the "best practice" real-time workflows which agencies would like to have and which some carriers are already delivering. For real-time implementation to continue to grow among agencies, we need to achieve more consistency in the real-time transactions that are offered to agencies across carriers and lines of business coupled with better performance from those transactions.

Independent Agency Preferences for Carrier Electronic Communications 
This report sets out how agents would like to receive electronic communications from their carriers for specific types of notices and transactions, so that agencies can benefit from a consistency of approach.  The report includes a very helpful chart outlining each type of communication, how agents would like to receive the information, and, if the recommended method is email, a recommended format for the subject line.

Real-Time Endorsement, New Business Submission, and Activity and Note Transactions 
Along with inquiry, these are the most important real-time transactions for agents. The report spells out the agents' business requirements for these transactions.
