Re-Underwriting Projects
SUMSTM, UPFRO’s Smart Underwriting
Management System has been implemented in both existing book-of-business
re-underwriting and rollover business projects
for six (6) P&C firms in 2007. Premium
return has vastly exceeded the expense of these programs. Reduced
Reinsurance Costs are also an expected byproduct when implementing this
service. SUMSTM has
allowed these firms to mass underwrite, audit, and accurately manage large
blocks of business without increasing in-house costs.
