“’mySocrates’ utilizes portal technology to create ‘smart places’ for employees, customers and partners to connect with data, systems and each other, increasing business process transparency and improving communications and collaboration across Allied’s extended enterprise,” explains Ira M. Schwartz, Chief Information Officer at Allied. A true collaborative environment, this system provides users with access to such innovative service as online certificates and auto identification cards, stewardship on demand with dashboards and dynamic reports as well as other strategic enhancements. These features are not available on any other system within the construction insurance industry, according to Schwartz.

“By providing powerful new services and connections to our customers, we’re offering them easy access to the information and tools they need to overcome the complexities typically found in the relationships between contractors and owners, subcontractors and carriers,” he says. The “mySocrates” initiative is the logical next step in the insurance brokerage’s recent growth, further solidifying Allied’s position as a leader within the construction insurance marketplace, Schwartz concludes.
