NEW YORK, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WTW (NASDAQ: WTW), a leading global advisory, broking, and solutions company, has announced the launch of a ground-breaking feature in Radar, its leading analytics deployment solution. This new feature enables users to adjust to market price movements accurately and in real time by incorporating ISO Electronic Rating Content™ (ISO ERC ™) from Verisk.

Insurers need reliable access to the latest rating information to stay competitive in today’s market and rate policies quickly and accurately. Time constraints can also prohibit carriers from adopting deviations, performing portfolio impact analyses, and deploying complex rating structures.

Radar now allows insurers to seamlessly import Verisk ISO ERC content directly into Radar and instantly create an ISO-based pricing model at the touch of a button. In a matter of minutes, this enables users to begin rating policies with ISO’s up-to-date filed advisory prospective loss costs, rules, and forms attachment logic.

Key benefits include the ability to analyze the impact of new ISO updates on in-force portfolios, scenario test the effects of proprietary deviations and deploy rates to market with minimal risk of manual error. A process that historically could take months can now be completed in minutes, greatly enhancing rate-making efficiency and giving carriers a powerful competitive edge in adapting to market price movements.

Gio Smyth, Managing Director and Americas Regional Leader, Insurance Consulting and Technology at WTW, said: “This new Radar functionality builds significantly on the value already provided by Verisk’s ISO ERC solution. Our innovative approach enables insurers to thoroughly assess the impact of ISO Circular updates, providing them with the confidence they need to adjust their rates swiftly, benefiting both their business and customers. I’m excited to see our clients benefit from our latest Radar development.”

Ron Beiderman, senior vice president of core lines services product at Verisk, said: “Verisk's ISO ERC streamlines the end-to-end rating process by enabling faster, more accurate implementation of ISO content. With seamless integration into Radar’s pricing, analytics and deployment environments, it enhances ratemaking efficiency and helps set insurers apart in such a highly competitive environment. This advancement enables partners to deliver the full value of ISO ERC data through robust and scalable solutions.”
