  • Delaware Storm Surge Now Available
  • CDS has added Delaware to its growing list of areas where the RiskMeter Storm Surge report is now available. This report identifies areas susceptible to coastal flooding from hurricanes. The next state that will be added is NJ, followed by MD and VA. Then we will have the entire Gulf and Atlantic Coasts complete. Stay tuned! Also, please see the related articles about our upcoming WebEx on the new Storm Surge report. This is a great way to learn more! If you have any questions, contact Daniel Munson at 617.737.4444 or dmunson@cdsys.com

     
  • Update: South Carolina Windpool Areas
  • On March 30, 2007 South Carolina Beach and Coastal windpool areas were changed and approximately 166 square miles were added to zones 1 and 2.

    The state of South Carolina has once again made changes to these zones (effective June 1st) and approximately 330 square miles have been added. We have updated these maps on the RiskMeter Online, and we will continue to monitor this situation if anymore changes need to be made.

    If you have any questions, please contact Jamie Munson at 860.854.6125 or jmunson@cdsys.com

     
  • Reactions 2007 Awards
  • Polling for Reactions Magazine's 2007 awards is now underway. They are looking to salute the most successful insurance and reinsurance industry players of the past year--as voted by their peers.

    CDS needs your help! We would appreciate it if you would take the time to fill out this ten question survey (respondents will remain anonymous), and nominate the RiskMeter Online for the modelling firm of the year. To take the survey, please go to: http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi? p=WEB226K3SNAXZU

     
  • New RiskMeter email eReport
  • Due to popular demand, the RiskMeter Online has just added a new feature which makes it possible to email a pdf of a report. In the past this could be done, but the user needed to save a copy of the PDF to their computer, and then attach it to an email. Now it can be done by simply entering an email address. This will be especially useful for people who want to save a copy of the report to their imaging system.

    Users can utilize this feature by clicking on the "Email eReport" icon. Once this icon is clicked on, users just need to submit an email address and the RiskMeter Online will send a pdf of the report to the email entered. For people who are interested in adding this feature to their account, please contact an account executive at 617.737.4444

     
  • Batch Tool for Multi-Location Schedules
  • CDS has developed a tool that will allow underwriters, agents and brokers to run schedules through the RiskMeter themselves! CDS currently runs schedules for clients, but users must email us a file, which we run through our software internally, and then it is sent back to the client. With the new batch tool, users will be able to take their schedules and run policies through on their own.

    How does it work?
    The only thing users will need to do is upload a tab delimited file on the batch client Web site. Once the file is uploaded, it gets processed automatically and the results are emailed back. Users can expect to receive an email with their results a few hours later. This new tool will definitely help brokers, who require a quick response. This process requires no intervention by CDS, so schedules can be run at any time of day.

    Live Demonstration
    On Thursday, July 19th at 2pm EDT Daniel Munson, Founder and VP of Sales & Marketing, will be doing a live demonstration of the RiskMeter Batch tool. This is a great way to see firsthand how this powerful new tool can increase sales and streamline underwriting. To secure a spot at this event, please go to: https://cdsys.webex.com

    Questions?
    For more information or to take part in beta testing, please contact Daniel Munson at 617.737.4444 or dmunson@cdsys.com

     
  • Upcoming Featured WebEx Presentations
  • Storm Surge Presentation
    With the 2007 hurricane season underway now is the perfect time to attend our upcoming Storm Surge WebEx. This report is based on the well known and respected SLOSH (Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) storm surge model. RiskMeter's Storm Surge report will let you know if a property falls within an area likely to flood from a hurricane of a specific strength (category 1-5), as well as the maximum storm surge height for each category of storm.

    On Thursday, July 12th at 2pm EDT Daniel Munson, Founder and VP of Sales & Marketing, will be doing a live demonstration of this new report. This is a must see event for users who write business in AL, CT, DE, FL, GA, LA, MA, ME, MS, NC, NH, NY, RI, SC and TX. To secure a spot, please go to: https://cdsys.webex.com

  • FL & TN Sinkhole Report Update
  • Tennessee sinkhole report feedback
    Based on customer feedback, the RiskMeter Online is looking to see whether it should add a Tennessee sinkhole report. Due to recent changes to a law in Tennessee, sinkholes are now a much bigger issue for insurers. If this is of interest, please contact Daniel Munson at 617.737.4444 or dmunson@cdsys.com

    More than 3,000 sinkholes added to Florida clearinghouse!
    CDS is proud to announce that within the past year over 3,000 sinkholes have been added RiskMeter's sinkhole clearinghouse. This brings the total number of sinkholes to over 6,000! CDS believes sharing sinkhole information will allow carriers to have the most accurate picture of sinkhole activity in Florida. Missing just one of these sinkholes could lead to a very costly claim. Get involved today!

    How does the sinkhole clearinghouse program work?
    For people who aren't familiar with this program, here's how it works. Insurers who submit reported sinkholes will have access to an exclusive database that is comprised of our data and other carriers' data as well. Taking part in this program is a win-win situation because it will give users a better picture of their sinkhole risk. To find out more about this program, please contact Jamie Munson at 860.854.6125 or jmunson@cdsys.com
