Our challenge often is not just finding the right data but finding consistent data. Especially in matters relating to producer compliance, data flows in many different directions, forms and degrees of accuracy.
A producer enters his or her own changes in address, name, phone numbers and other required information directly with state regulators. Education providers key in data about the same producer, perhaps inadvertently reversing an "ie" to become an "ei" or swapping digits in a phone number. Carriers list their producers in their own databases created by yet another staff of data-entry personnel, who may be prone to their own errors. When the time for license renewal or appointment arrives, trying to gather this data from disparate sources and reconcile it with one set of accurate information can swamp administrators with paper notes and uncertainties. This manual process can become a significant hindrance to compliance.
