One of the first questions typically asked of us is who we see as our "direct competition". We are the only surety specific carrier system on the market. Alternatives, like agency specific systems, try to claim they can do what e-SURETY™ does, and to a very limited extent they can, but they never disclose the majority of features they do not have: Underwriting tools, decision engines, rating engine, security module, multidimensional authority levels, enterprise level reporting, backend mainframe data exchange, ability to integrate credit scores into decision rules and premium calculation rules, ability to offer a variety of electronic payment options (ACH, EFT, Credit Card, Debit Card, etc) and much, much more...
 
Beyond features you need to gauge the strength of the architecture - can the system not only handle your needs today but how about when you achieve your definition of the "pinnacle of success"? We can provide references where customers are processing over 2,500 approved bond transactions a week with hundreds of agents and dozens of UW's and UWA's. That is over 1 bond a minute every minute of the work day! Plus hundreds of searches for  already issued bonds and it doesn't count any of the thousands of automatic renewals and such beyond that!
 
Finally, as a rules based processing system you have the ability to PROVE how you manage risk not only to corporate management but to reinsurers and investors as well. By using proven rules you can ensure you are approving only the most solid of applications and those that get referred already have the "troubled" answers highlighted so your underwriters can see immediately why this application ended up on their desk. In addition to this great level of efficiency, e-SURETY's decision rules allow your underwriting staff to handle a larger book of business far more efficiently and with dramatically lower risk than industry average! If your current staff can have a tool that allows them to process 2-3 times the business they handle today that translates into savings of  hundreds of thousands of dollars of personnel costs alone - every year!
