The ACORD-User Groups Information Exchange (AUGIE) mission is to gather information, share ideas and actively shape the future of the insurance industry through collaboration with ACORD, agents, brokers, insurers, vendors, and associations. AUGIE provides a free forum for the industry to discuss common issues and gives participants a voice in the ACORD Standards process.
