[edit] History
Established in 1949, IDP began when a group of five insurance companies and a reinsurance brokerage firm formed an accounting and statistical unit on a cooperative basis. Subsequent growth resulted in the formation of Mutual Tabulating Services, Inc. in 1953. Then in 1961, with the rapidly growing use of computers and entry of the company into the insurance computer industry as a professional insurance data processing organization, the name of the corporation was changed to Insurance Data Processing, Inc., better known as IDP.
In 1967, IDP was acquired by Marsh & McLennan, Inc., (Guy Carpenter & Co., Inc.), and in 1985 became a part of the Carlino Financial Group, a full service, Philadelphia-based financial organization. In 1997, ownership evolved into a Carlino/Gilbert partnership.
