PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ACE Risk Management®, the primary casualty division of ACE USA, today announced that it has enhanced its award winning ACE AcceleratorSM program, which allows users to electronically sign their state UM/UIM coverage election forms. Introduced in 2012, this interactive web-based portal was designed exclusively for ACE Risk Management (ARM) clients and brokers to streamline the completion of UM/UIM coverage election forms.

Since its introduction, ACE Accelerator users have hailed the system for its ease of use and impressive functionality that allows for quick review and completion of all the forms needed for their UM/UIM coverage elections. When first introduced to the program, ACE Risk Management clients were quick to embrace the technology because it simplified a once-cumbersome and time consuming process. The enhanced electronic signature functionality virtually eliminates all manual aspects of the process.

It’s truly a comprehensive solution and one that will assist them in their overall efforts to effectively manage their risk management programs now and for years to come.”
