Underwriting system gets upgrade
RISK Management Solutions has upgraded its underwriting system for personal and commercial property insurers.
The upgraded version is called Riskbrowser v3.0 and will give underwriters greater flexibility, ease of use and improved analytical capabilities.
Riskbrowser provides decision support information such as earthquake and hurricane pure premiums, loss estimates by return premium, flood zone data, distance to coast or nearest fault and windpool determination.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
