HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
To help business
insurance customers access vital risk management information from
anywhere, at any time, Travelers (NYSE: TRV)
announced today the mobile version of e-CARMA,
its proven Risk Management Information System application. Developed by Travelers
National Accounts and Risk
Management Information Services (RMIS), the mobile e-CARMA platform
will be accessible on any mobile device with a Web browser, including
the iPhone(R) and BlackBerry(R) smartphones.
"Risk management professionals are more mobile than ever, visiting
manufacturing facilities, regional offices and job sites around the
world, helping their companies mitigate and manage their risk," said
Matthew Carden, Vice President, RMIS
at Travelers. "The mobile e-CARMA platform will allow risk managers to
get away from their desks and laptop computers without sacrificing their
access to important, mission-critical data. Soon, risk management
professionals will be able to see summarized information, detailed
reports and individual claim files from the field on their handheld

Current and potential customers and their agents and brokers attending
the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS) annual conference and

application in action at the Travelers Booth, #1109. The mobile e-CARMA
platform will be available to all e-CARMA users later this year.

system offers a robust set of tools including customizable
dashboards with intuitive navigation that significantly enhances the
