Stand alone rating systems continue to become more sophisticated, and rating engines are responding to this challenge. Many solutions have been extended to contain product features other than rating, such as forms, eligibility and underwriting rules.
Boston, MA, USA – August 26, 2009 – A new report, US Property/Casualty Rating Systems: ABCD Vendor View, 2009, is designed to help carriers take a fresh look at the various players that are active in the stand alone rating applications space.
