A New Year, A New Look
Cpai.com relaunch combines form and function to meet member needs
Hatboro, PA - January 2007 - The New Year means a new look for cpai.com, the official insurance programs website for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Originally designed to fulfill the professional and personal insurance needs of AICPA members, cpai.com has been revamped with the latest Internet technology to improve the overall user experience and deliver true, value-added benefits.
An important tool for both AICPA members and CPAs, cpai.com houses a wealth of information about the 14 insurance products offered through the Programs, coverage features and benefits, and risk management practices. "The site was relaunched to keep pace with the ever-changing needs of today's CPAs and evolving Internet technology," says Ken Mackunis, President of Aon Insurance Services, National Administrator for the AICPA Insurance Programs. "In-depth market research indicated that AICPA members use the site to fulfill a variety of insurance needs, including product research, purchase, policy renewal, and risk management assistance. By focusing on these key areas, we've been able to complete a redesign that enriches both form and function."
As well as undergoing a complete aesthetic overhaul, cpai.com also underwent an architectural redesign. New enhancements afford simplified navigation, improve readability, and provide users with quick and easy access to targeted information. Additionally, technological upgrades increase Aon's speed to market and give users the benefit of the timely delivery of new products and information. The culmination of these significant improvements moves cpai.com one step closer to becoming a full-service insurance marketplace for CPAs.
Aon and the AICPA invite members and CPAs to experience the new and improved cpai.com firsthand. Questions about site improvements or interface changes are welcome and can be directed to Aon at (800) 221-3023.
