CSIO to switch service providers, industry urged to change IP addresses on Nov. 21

The Centre of the Study of Insurance Operations (CSIO) will switch service providers for its upload/download system, CSIOnet, on Friday, Nov. 21, 2008.
All insurance brokers, companies and vendors that use the network must change their IP address setting on that date to ensure business continues uninterrupted.
The change will improve service for approximately 1,800 broker offices across Canada, a CSIO release says.
“We are very excited about providing a robust network that will deliver improved services and continue to exceed members’ requirements and needs,” said CSIO president Steve Kaukinen. “On Nov. 21, users will need to make a very simple change to their computers. CSIO staff will be available to answer any questions and help implement the changes to ensure that this transition happens easily.”
Instructions on making the change can be found at www.CSIO.com or by calling toll free 1-800-463-2746.
