BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Reprints

Analytics provider Verisk Insurance Solutions on Tuesday said it has released an updated set of underwriting tools for commercial property.

The improvements will enable insurers to gain new insights from its ProMetrix database of 3.5 million commercial properties, the unit of Jersey City, New Jersey-based Verisk Analytics Inc., said in a statement. They include an application programming interface that helps insurers automate underwriting guidelines and the ability to benchmark risks against peer properties instantly.

The update also improved the functionality of Verisk Insurance Solutions’ ProMetrix website, which provides data and analytics on construction, building and occupancy loss costs, as well as property and exposure details, the company said, noting that some customers are already transitioning to the new tools for ProMetrix.

“Our new dynamic real-time risk-engineering tool is already generating high returns for our customers who’ve transitioned to the next generation of ProMetrix,” Peter de Freitas, assistant vice president-ProMetrix at Verisk Insurance Solutions-Commercial Property, said in a statement. “For the first time, underwriters will have the ability to actually drive the loss cost for an insured property through risk improvement actions and gain a competitive advantage through the rating insights derived.”
