EXCITING NEWS!! SDPAAis venturing into a new age of technology. During the course of 2017, we have been implementing Origami Risk, a governmental risk-sharing pool management information system. Origami Risk is a web-based software provider which houses our underwriting rating system and information, contains Memberservicesinformationandtrackingdocumentation, and provides up-to-date claims information from Claims Associates.

A future Member Portal is also in the works which will allowMemberstomakechangesandrequests,look-upand review your specific coverage information, and pull current TIV and loss reports. Property Valuation Reports andLossControlAuditswillbestoredineachMemberfile for easy access and follow-up by both the SDPAAand the Member. With the transition to Origami Risk, Members will have coverage information, documentation, and reports at the tips of their fingers. All information will be housed in one place and we will virtually be paperless.
