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”.

2015 Innovation Award winners recognized

The 2015 Business Insurance Innovation Awards showcase the best new products and services launched over the past year for risk managers. This awards program, which started in 2010, recognizes innovation in the insurance and risk management sector, and the high caliber of the winning entries shows that commercial insurers, brokers and other service providers continue to break new ground with their offerings.

All of the nominations were reviewed by an independent judging panel composed of professional risk managers, and the 10 highest-scoring nominations were selected for the 2015 Innovation Awards, which will be presented during the Business Insurance Risk Management Summit to be held March 4-5 in New York.

The winning entries range from insurance coverage for drones to an analytics dashboard for workers compensation.

The nomination process for the 2016 Innovation Awards will begin in the fall.
