Underwriter Workbench is the underwriting center point for rules development and maintenance and for completing automated referral and authorization requests from your distribution channels. This suite is further defined by the following features:

• Underwriter workstation for accessing tasks, documents, information and actions
• Use of English-like syntax in rules definition allows for business ownership of rule development and maintenance (Figure 1)
• Externalized rules engine for single point development and implementation
• Automated generation and assignment of work items when underwriting rules are violated during the policy lifecycle
• Capability to reassign work items within defined security parameters
• Upgrade safe configuration so rules are never lost or overwritten
