The intensity of competition and pace of technological change never let up. Fortunately, companies don't have to go it alone.
AAIS has brought together major providers of underwriting, marketing, and loss control information that our member companies can access at discounted rates.
The information providers of the AAISalliance are ready to be your partners in developing and implementing effective underwriting strategies.
Through the AAISdirect portal, insurers can explore services from these vendors. If you decide to purchase them, you can do so at reduced rates negotiated by AAIS on behalf of its more than 600 member companies.
"The AAISalliance allows each individual AAIS member company to access these services with the purchasing power of our collective membership," says Rick Maka, AAIS director of marketing and strategic alliances. "This initiative is directly in line with our mission of helping our member insurance companies compete in the market.
"Companies that utilize the AAISalliance will benefit from the efficiency of having a one-stop shop for access to product-related research. Ultimately, that will lead
to improved marketing and underwriting results."
