NISS Edit Tables – Now in Excel Format
|
As we continue to work to provide useful resources to our member companies, we are now in the process
of converting our Edit Tables into Excel format. Currently our Edit Tables are available in .txt
format on the NISS website and can be downloaded and integrated into your system. By doing this,
you can use the same Edit Tables we use to edit company data submissions and use them to validate
your company data elements prior to submission of NISS Calls.
We will soon be offering Edit Tables in Excel format, which will allow companies to sort many different
criteria within the Tables. The first lines of business to go on the website in Excel format
will be Burglary & Theft, Farmowners, Fidelity & Surety, Homeowners, and Inland Marine.
Other lines of business will follow in the future. We will continue to do all we can to make
the reporting process as easy and simple as it can be.

Fast Track Utility
|
Fast Track is a quarterly report in which NISS collects data from the top Homeowners and Auto writers
in each state. We then combine the data with other Statistical Agents and send it to State Insurance
Departments. We also sell these reports for a nominal fee to companies that are interested in
comparing their experience against the industry.
We’ve been busy developing a Fast Track Utility which is designed for two purposes. The first
is to help companies that report Fast Track data to NISS review and verify their data prior to
submission to NISS. The second purpose of this Utility is for companies that purchase the Fast
Track Reports from NISS. We will be placing a blank database on the NISS website for a company’s
individual use, where they can import their company data into the database and compare it to
industry data.
If you are interested in purchasing Fast Track reports or would like more information on this helpful
database, please contact us at
questions@niss-stat.org.

the night. If the pole is 30 feet high and the sloth starts from the ground (zero feet), how many days
