The Automation and Technology Committee of the National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP) designed the first Information Technology Survey in 2007 with the objective of examining technology trends by NASBP members. In this fifth edition, the 2016 Automation Survey compares results and discovers trends among our respondents. In addition, the Survey seeks to compare results with the previous survey results produced in our last survey sent to the industry in 2013.
