ValueMomentum had initially announced the integration of ISO Electronic Rating Content with its iFoundry Rating Engine product in October 2013.

• 35 percent decrease in overall cost
Chad Hersh, managing director at Novarica, said, “Using an electronic process reduces the cost for complex circulars by 38 percent. The biggest cost savings is in loading the changes into the system. Carriers report an average savings of 59 percent when using electronic means on complex circulars,” adding, “rating solutions with comprehensive support for ISO Electronic Rating Content can significantly accelerate time to market, reduce premium leakage, and lower costs.”
Kevin Thompson, president of Insurance Programs and Analytic Services at ISO, said, “We’re pleased to note ValueMomentum’s commitment to the ISO Electronic Rating Content Associate Program.
