Establishes Proprietary Global Network
PHILADELPHIA – April 20, 2005 – ESIS, Inc., the risk management services arm of ACE USA, today announced the launch of its for-fee global claim services. ESIS® will offer its U.S.-based clients access to a centrally managed global network of claims professionals in more than 120 countries, providing integrated and customized programs to enable risk managers to meet each customer’s needs and high performance standards.
“We constantly look for innovative ways to create additional value for our clients,” said Steven Lulewicz, Assistant Vice President, ESIS Global Claims Operations. “By introducing our highly customized proprietary network for global claims we create efficiencies that save time and money – savings we pass on to our clients. In addition, by using our Global RiskAdvantage
SM system, clients can get consolidated global claims information that is updated on a daily basis. This is important to today’s risk managers who are strategic in their thinking and constantly looking for new solutions. They want a sophisticated business partner who can meet their global needs including compliance with local regulations and their unique claims handling instructions. It’s an intensive effort, and our clients know we’ll get results.”
“The services ESIS offers are part of global solutions offered by the ACE Group of Companies,” remarked John Ryan, Senior Vice President for ESIS. “With our program we manage global claims and provide superior outcomes, but there’s more to the story. We take a prescriptive approach with our clients and identify ways to reduce their claims. We use benchmarking analysis to identify trends and improvement opportunities. Then with our Global Risk Control consultants we work closely with our clients to help them take steps to reduce risk and losses.”
According to Mr. Ryan, “Client benefits include access to highly-qualified claims professionals in each country with service goals and business philosophies aligned to those of ESIS. ESIS’ U.S.-based clients with global exposures can work with claims professionals who will help them understand and manage complex processes. Additionally, ESIS clients have access to its leading edge system, Global RiskAdvantage
SM.” Web-enabled, Global RiskAdvantage allows clients to review trends, share claims status with remote locations in a secure environment and make decisions about their global claims programs domestically and globally. It is refreshed daily with the current claims status around the world.
