Risk & Insurance Names AonLine 'Extranet Tool Of The Year'

In its annual roundup of the year's best products for risk managers, Risk & Insurance magazine named AonLine to its all-star roster of tools dubbed "Standouts for Solutions" for 1998.

Citing AonLine as a source of "very useful information," Risk & Insurance praised the extranet for allowing "clients to access insurance policies, industry information, proprietary Aon research, insurance products, and alternative solutions on a real-time basis as well as a wide range of analysis tools, software applications, and links to experts around the world."

AonLine's network of electronic services is designed specifically for risk managers and other financial executives who manage property and casualty risk for large to mid-size organizations.

"Companies like Aon continue to raise the performance bar for risk management and industry customer service due to a tight business focus combined with a tolerance for entrepreneurship," said Judy Johnson, insurance industry analyst for META Group in Princeton, NJ.

Aon, a leading Chicago-based insurance brokerage, established AonLine as a subscription-based analytical and research tool for its high-end, risk management customers.

Mia Shernoff, managing director of AonLine, noted that "We are honored to be recognized for the contribution that AonLine continues to make to the field of risk management. From the beginning our mission was to generate significant competitive advantage for our risk manager clients through improved productivity and proactivity. We continue to strive to find ways to optimize the latest technology and help risk managers monitor and lower their companies' cost of risk."
