Transforming Commercial Underwriting Through Technology

Commercial Underwriting is both a craft and a science. Expertise and intuition combine to determine the price and terms of a contract.

The limitations of this approach – significant key man/woman risk, limited knowledge transfer, high costs – shape the practices of an underwriting unit.

Technology offers the opportunity to transform commercial underwriting and enable better decisions, faster, at scale.

This webinar will explore:

  • leveraging the experience of an entire organization in individual risk decisions;
  • complimenting traditional underwriting data with behavioral signals;
  • codifying knowledge to reduce enterprise risk;
  • preparing underwriters for an enhanced role.
