Acadia Expands Synergy Risk ManagementSM Services

WESTBROOK, Maine - Acadia's Synergy Risk ManagementSM is a unique multi-disciplinary approach to reducing the total cost of risk for Acadia's insureds. Over the past two years, Acadia has invested significant time and resources expanding the program and continues to see remarkable results in improved account profitability and retention. Today, nearly twenty-five percent of Acadia's premium is serviced within the Synergy model.

The Synergy process involves a team representing the disciplines of underwriting, loss control, and claims formulating a detailed service plan for each account, aimed at reducing losses and exposures. Plans are agreed upon with agents and their insureds, then implemented with measured results. "Synergy provides my insureds with precise services to reduce the costs associated with losses," says Acadia agent Joseph B. Smith, CPCU, ARM, President of Smith Brothers Insurance of Connecticut. "The collaborative nature of the Synergy process also builds strong relationships and eliminates unwanted surprises. Our clients really value this type of attention."

Synergy currently targets middle market and larger risks, but, according to Acadia President, Bill Thornton, CPCU, CLU, plans are underway to expand Synergy to all Acadia insureds. "We want Synergy to become the way we do business, not a special program," says Mr. Thornton. "Through technology and Acadia's local branch presence, we will ultimately be able to deliver cost-effective risk management services to any Acadia insured."

Acadia Insurance Company works exclusively through independent agents serving the commercial and specialty lines insurance needs of the businesses of New England and New York. Acadia is rated A (Excellent) by A.M. Best and is a subsidiary of W.R. Berkley Corporation (NYSE:BER), an insurance holding company that is among the largest commercial lines writers in the United States.
