The Hollard Insurance Company Australia (Sydney) has adopted Duck Creek Rating to advise its select brokers throughout Australia about the preferred pricing options that can be quoted based on customer needs. Hollard selected Duck Creek Rating to change its product definition and deployment capabilities and enhance its existing business management processes. The new rating system will allow brokers to see pricing options based on criteria submitted and select the one that is best for the customer, according to the vendor.
