To deep dive into ACORD Forms, we need to have a look at history firstly. ACORD, the Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development, is a non-profit organization in the insurance industry. It is widely known across the industry with an extensive archive of standardized forms. In addition, the organization has also developed a comprehensive library of electronic data standards. In fact, it includes more than 1200 standardized transaction types. Therefore, these types facilitate the exchange of insurance data between trading partners. ACORD developed many of the forms and electronic data standards utilized by the insurance and related industries today.
ACORD has also worked with the Centre for Study of Insurance Operations on numerous initiatives. One of these initiatives is the development of North American XML data standards.
ACORD is headquartered in Pearl River, NY. They maintain an office in London, U.K.
