CHICAGO, IL October 15, 2015, Edgewater Holdings Ltd. announced today the expanded capabilities of its recently launched SmarterFORM; a cross-platform, online application.   The upgraded application builds off its lead product, Cyber Security Insurance, and now offers a broader package of Employment Practices Liability (EPL) coverages. 

SmarterFORM is designed with the independent agency system in mind to help efficiently manage their books of small insurance risks.

SmarterFORM electronically submits an application from any device connected online (smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops). This technical innovation underwrites, quotes, accepts credit card payments and delivers fully-bound policies via download or email attachment within minutes of the submission request.

 Caroline Kollar, VP and Lead Underwriter of Edgewater, added, “We’ve specialized in EPL for over 15 years and Cyber for over 3 years.  We have always been on the leading edge when it comes to introducing new technology. Today, we are especially excited to introduce the SmarterFORM for other coverages besides EPL and Cyber.  We are working on projects that incorporate this technology for Errors & Omissions and other Professional Indemnity coverages”

One of the more interesting aspects of the new SmarterFORM application platform is its adaptability to interact with a wide array of online communication venues.  This technically advanced, delivery system to small business owners and their agents or brokers includes application access via hyperlink, Quick Response (QR) code, a direct link for texting and an online portal opportunity for authorized brokerage and agency partners’ websites.

“We live in an increasingly mobile economy where online commerce opportunities are continually expanding”, stated EVP, Kevin Ribble. “At Edgewater, we pride ourselves on delivering leading edge specialty insurance products for the small to medium size business community.  Our SmarterFORM platform is receiving excellent reviews on its intuitive presentation and user-friendly delivery process.”
