Acrometis, the industry leader in workers’ compensation claims processing platforms, and Willis, a leading global risk advisory, re/insurance broking, and human capital and benefits firm, have partnered to launch Willis’ Advanced Technology Strategic Risk Planning (SRP) process. More advanced and comprehensive than traditional strategic risk management, this in-depth analysis of claims management systems and resulting technological improvements substantially increase operational efficiencies while reducing claim related expenses and improving shareholder values.

The Willis Advanced Technology SRP solution will be powered by CLAIMExpert, Acrometis’ powerful claims-processing platform which incorporates over 10,000 business rules to process all incoming documents to ensure appropriateness, relatedness and eligibility in every jurisdiction. Willis and Acrometis will work in partnership with their clients to identify organizational goals, define risk management objectives and establish metrics and solutions to achieve these goals. Once measurable targets are in place, clients will be advised on a best-fit long term solution, employing best practices and technology, designed specifically to reduce payer’s claim related workers’ compensation expenses.

“The domain expertise and advanced technology Acrometis provides will significantly help our workers’ compensation clients streamline their claims systems to see much better outcomes in record time and at a substantially lower cost.
