NASBP’s Automation and Technology Committee
members compiled a list of the latest
information technology tools, applications, and
services to help surety professionals save time
and money.
The document breaks down the list into four
categories: 1) Web Services, 2) Tools, 3)
Portable Devices, and 4) Hardware and Software.
A sampling of the benefits in using some of
these is as follows:
- Obtain detailed reports on web site
activity
- Verify a company’s exact legal name, and
in many states if the company is in good
standing, via a Business Filings Database
web site
- Control computers from an internet
connection
- Manage and encrypt many passwords using
one program and one password
- Leverage a Blackberry to give wireless
broadband access for a laptop without the
use of an air card (and avoid additional
fees)
- Transfer pictures and video wirelessly
to a computer without removing a card or
plugging a cable in
- Print more efficiently by analyzing the
lifetime cost of a printer
