SehHey Lite Connect allows you to share documents and files with your customers securely and privately.

In the video below you can see how easy it is to safely provide your customer with 24/7 self service access to an Automobile Proof of Liability Insurance Form.
Now you can share securely without making your customer set up their own account access to SehHey.

Email Attachments and Privacy Laws
Are you compliant with customer information privacy laws when you email a PDF or Word document as an attachment to your insured, your underwriters or a bank?
According to Steve Anderson’s The Agency Automation Report, 45 states now have privacy laws regarding how you protect personally identifiable information on your customers and prospects.. That means your state most likely has one in place. Oh - and so does the Federal Government.
Email Attachments and Privacy Laws - Basically Not Secure or Compliant
Are email attachments normally compliant with the new privacy laws? Most of the opinions I hear from various insurance trade organizations suggest that if your emails are not encrypted, then emails with attachments are not compliant.
There is an email encryption technology called TLS which is often recommended. The problem with email encryption technologies as I understand them is that the same encryption has to be in place on the sender's and receiver's email system for it to work. The plain truth is that this is rarely the case. Since the services using TLS encryption cost money, this is not likely to be the case ever.
Two Proven Compliant Solutions
We offer two alternatives - both of which are compliant. Neither of our solutions requires additional technology at either your end or on the part of the person to whom you are sending documents.
The most secure way to provide access to electronic forms, documents, etc is to share them from a secure online site.
Our Cap Dat ACORD and SehHey sites are both such sites. Because the documents you are sharing are never an email attachment, they can be accessed easily and securely, opened, reviewed, modified, saved, printed or downloaded. The data security and encryption are all maintained by and constantly updated by us.
Your Customer Creates Their Own Account Access
The most secure way to share is to invite the person to whom you want to share the documents to create a free account with their own log on and password. You can do this with our service, but many people do not like to have yet another log on to remember. We have made this easier by allowing people to use their Facebook Connect logon. But some folks don't have Facebook.
Secure Guest Privileges Access Through Email Link
The other way we let you share is through our Guest Privileges Connection. With this you send the person with whom you want to share a form an email with a secure token link. The person then only has to click on the link and they are automatically open the form you wish to share. They can then save the form locally or print the form.
Which is Most Appropriate
Guest Privileges Connect is great for sharing things on a limited time basis. A good example is new or renewal applications. Guest Privileges Connect tokens time out automatically, but they are active for more than long enough to allow these types of tasks to get done.
The full SehHey Sharing service is more appropriate for long term sharing such as providing 24/7/365 access to proof of insurance forms, certificates of insurance, change requests and other online customer services.

ACORD Forms in the iPad - Part 2
My iPad arrived just about 10:00 AM Saturday. The UPS truck looked like that was all they were delivering that day.
So do ACORD Forms work on the iPad. No - not ours using Adobe Reader to present the forms as fillable PDF forms. to be clear, PDF's do open on the iPad, but not as fillable forms. You can not enter information and save or print it. I have purchased the Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro for iPad. I will test it later and let you know if it changes this.
How does this make me feel about the iPad asks the psychologist?
I still love it, but I don't think it will be a killer device as it is currently set up.
I do think the type of device - a tablet computer - has finally shown us what personal computing will become over the next year or two. But Apple has intentionally limited the iPad so badly - I assume to protect it's other product lines - that as Android based devices are released which do not impose these artificial limitations on their hardware and software, those devices will replace my laptop and my iPad.
Here are the limitations which keep me from loving the iPad...
Do I like my iPad. Hell yes. Am I going to keep it. You bet. Will I be buying an Android based tablet when they come out. Probably more than one.
I agree with the reviewer who said they felt like they were holding the future in their hands.
I also understand the reviewer who called the iPad an iPhone without the phone. But I disagree. It is an iPhone without the phone or the full browser.
It is fortunate for Apple they got to the space first. If this device came out after the first well done Android device it would be another Apple Lisa. Oh yes, I have one of those also.

Here are the limitations which keep me from loving the iPad...
- Browser limitations which keep the whole World Wide Web unavailable to me. The very same web sites I can visit on my iPhone and iTouch I can not see using my iPad browser. Not acceptable in any way. I couldn't order take out last night from my iPad. I had to use my iTouch iPod. This is just stupid.
- No USB port. I need to move stuff on and off my iPad without having to get Apple's approval first. That kind of control ended in grade school when I had to get permission from Miss Frothingham to go to the bathroom.
- No camera. OK, now I'm just complaining because the other stuff - especially the browser - are so disappointing.
