Our Expertise

Insurance Solutions
IdeaStar is at the forefront of the Web automation revolution. With over 10 years experience Web-enabling business processes, we’re proud to call ourselves insurance specialists.We develop online systems which help our clients generate tens of millions of dollars of new revenue and realize millions of dollars in savings.
IdeaStar was the technology developer of the ground-breaking QQLink online insurance system. Launched in 2000, QQLink was the first quote-thru-issue underage health insurance application submission system. It presented many features still not found on other similar sites including rate plan quoting, association benefit plans, e-signature, policy issue and customizable agent Web sites. QQLink was a revolutionary moment in the insurance industry and we are proud to have been a partner in its evolution. Today, nearly every insurance consumer sale site can trace its roots to QQLink. It was copied by many insurance companies but few are able to match QQLink's performance.
We have built several new marketing platforms based on the QQLink model. These include platforms that produced $100m+ in sales of underage health products, agent appointment/contracting systems for fields that have more than 20,000 agents, affinity plans with over 10,000 plan options and many other breakthrough solutions.
Since QQLink, we’ve undertaken many projects for well-known carriers and large agencies. For many of them, we won national awards for excellence. These include being a three-time A. M. Best E-Fusion award finalist and a Best of PIMA award winner.
We continually provide innovative solutions for the insurance industry.
