Connecting Online Online capabilities can play a role for less complex products.


“There are some classes of business that are going to lend themselves very well to online products. Those are the things that are easily underwritten and are less difficult to understand and articulate what the exposures are.”


James Drinkwater, AmWINS


Online capabilities that allow a broker to effectively market a client’s risk could be valuable. And online transactions are well suited to less sophisticated products and easy-to-understand risks.
