Effective Date Management

Manage Insurance Product Changes Without Disrupting Production

Commercial insurance products are constantly evolving. Bureau organizations publish new loss costs and rating rules, carriers introduce pricing changes, underwriting guidelines are updated, and regulators establish new effective dates. Insurance organizations must prepare these changes well in advance without impacting current production quoting.SelectRate Effective Date Management allows insurance organizations to manage historical, current, and future insurance products simultaneously from one centralized platform.Instead of replacing production products every time a change occurs, organizations can schedule future versions while maintaining complete governance and audit history.

What Is Effective Date Management?
