Proprietary Servicing and Collaboration Portal
eNest helps Assurex Global to maintain and add enhancement features to their existing system
From the beginning of an Insurance Application to the Underwriting to the Placement, susceptible data is exchanged regularly. For many years, brokers have been using insurance company extranets as their transaction, trading and communication tools, with proprietary interfaces and forms. Since brokers typically have their in-house or off-the-shelf business software solutions as well, data entered into an insurance company’s extranet then has to be re-entered into the broker’s back-end information systems. As each tool is specific, brokers can only master a limited number of extranets and have been restricted to working with a small number of insurance companies.
The numbers of compliance regulations for insurance carriers governing data security, especially during file transfers, are demanding. Protecting company data is absolutely critical. Improve data flow between brokers and insurance companies while eliminating double data entry tasks for brokers.
Restore independence and value-add to brokers through the adoption of an industry-wide secure and scalable data exchange platform. Assurex Global’s Passport system helps their partners solve the complex problem of file sharing by providing an all in one file sharing and reliable communication suite.

Why Passport?
Passport is proprietary software by Assurex Global that provides file sharing and collaboration platforms for their partners to share files between their team and organization. Users can apply different permission to access the files stored in the system and assign/ raise issues to their team members to rectify. Passport system is designed in the way to support a different kind of roles such as System Admin, Partner Admin, Passport Full Access User, Passport Client Users, Passport Limited Access Users, Passport Submissions And Issues Access Users, Passport Limited with Submissions Access Users and Passport Users with Submissions Only. This system consists of the following three parts.
Passport Administrative Service:This part of the system works like a management console where the entire firm and their users are managed and are part of Assurex Global. Each registered firm is called “Partner” and the users added under them are called ‘Account’.
Passport Service: In this part, Users can make their own account/team, and other users can be added to this team as a member of the team. Each account/team member has specific permissions to use the account. Account has two parts.

Features Offered
Implementing functionality of Recycle Bin: In this task, eNest implements the functionality when a user deletes a file/folder from the account’s briefcase and then goes to Recycle Bin. From there, the user can either restore the file/folder to its position in a briefcase or go with permanent delete.
Implementing Schedule delete for Item in Recycle Bin: In this task, eNest has implemented the functionality that the Content of Recycle Bin gets automatically deleted permanently after a fixed interval.
Implementing functionality of any account having multiple Admin: In this task, eNest has implemented the feature of any account having multiple admins.
Implementing Cascade Permission on files and folders: In this task, eNest has implemented Cascading permissions on folders while it was removed or added, i.e. when the User is removing permissions from any parent folder then the permissions for children folders gets removed automatically.
Publish files for Client: In this, eNest has implemented the functionality to publish files that have been seen by Client Users.

Ability of Members to Copy files/Folders: In this task, eNest has implemented the ability for User to copy either files or folders within/outside the account.
Improved look for email Notifications: That was automatically triggered while adding a new user to a team, adding a new file to the briefcase, adding members to the team, raising an issue, making an announcement.
Import from Xls: Ability to import partners in the Affiliation side using Xls.
Electronic Signature: Ability for partners to sign an agreement under the affiliation Application.
Challenges
The major challenge we faced is while implementing Recycle Bin functionality. First, we implemented & tested it like a Windows Recycle Bin. But it lacks in some cases like when you delete children folder and parent folder separately. If we try to restore only the child folder, the problem is where it will go as its parent folder is already in the Recycle Bin.
eNest handles these challenges in the way by implementing a ‘Trash’ folder like Google Drive where all the deleted files and folders are transferred to ‘Trash’ folder.
