- NIIT Technologies [SPONSOR]
NIIT Tech’s presentation is about going beyond the surety portal to provide Sureties and Brokers a N-Surety Omni-Channel (OC) Portal. N-Surety OC provides direct two-way communications between the surety stakeholders on an individual basis for:
- Access to N-Surety bond processing, including the use of ACORD forms and XBRL WIP reporting
- Stakeholder dashboards
- Specific contractor/principal; agent; underwriter; obligee; self-service and communications portal for submitting and monitoring bonds with the Surety
- Surety broadcasts to the stakeholders or individual communications to stakeholders on underwriting requirements, additional insurance needs, payments, WIP report reviews, trends, analytics, etc.
NIIT Tech’s OC capabilities can be extended corporately into the other carrier products focused directly on the insured. There is a variety of use cases offered to build stickiness between the carrier and insured for year-on-year retention and premium generation.
