In this session, you will gain an understanding of what “Automated Underwriting” means, general guidelines for implementation, the importance of communicating a vision, developing a roadmap with well-defined goals, and how the insurance industry is using automation to gain efficiencies throughout the Underwriting Journey.

Anytime Risk Management
Jeff Hendershot, Loss Control Engineering Director, Pennsylvania Lumbermans

Loss/Risk Control surveys play a critical role in helping insurance underwriters evaluate and price risk. Many commercial insurance companies were hindered in performing physical surveys at customers sites during the pandemic. Self-survey tools bring a solution to this problem. This presentation will look at how self-surveys can work, results from tested processes, and where the future of these programs is headed.
