Electronic Data-Processing Coverage | Wagner Insurance Agency in Ohio

Data Processing Insurance

Computers ... where would your business be without them?

Software Nightmares ... If only it were a dream ... when your system suffers a mechanical breakdown, there may be damage to your hardware. However, even more serious is the loss of information or the loss of media (discs, tapes, CD's) on which your information is stored. The cost of these items may be substantial, particularly the cost to reproduce your data base and replace your programs. Our E.D.P. extends coverage to these items for 20% of the Equipment Coverage Amount up to $10,000.

Your computer system organizes your communications, controls your inventory and holds your creative ideas. You have a significant investment in this technology and you should protect it.

Damage by fire, wind or theft may be covered on your conventional property insurance policy, but that policy may not completely protect your hardware, software and network capabilities. In order to protect your system against special electronic hazards, you need a policy tailored to the unique nature of the technology.

Accept No Clone

Accidental erasure of data
Mechanical breakdown
Employee sabotage
Artificial power surges within 1,000 feet
Short circuiting of equipment
Sewer backup
Computer virus
Changes in temperature
Flood and earthquake
Sprinkler leakage

And Downtime Affects Your Bottom Line

What happens when your system goes down? In many businesses, the cost of downtime extends beyond the mere cost of repairs...the real financial impact involves the interruption of your business. If a computer breakdown could affect your earnings,or require that you incur additional expense to resume operation,then E.D.P. Loss of Income and Extra Expense coverage protects your revenues. The policy automatically provides this coverage up to a maximum of $10,000. Higher limits are available.

Consider This Option

Our E.D.P. Policy covers damage from electrical disturbances that occur within 1,000 feet of your business location. You may want to further protect your system from hazards created by electrical disturbances beyond 1,000 feet. A distant electrical transformer explosion may do considerable damage to your computer system. Electrical Disturbance Coverage for this hazard may be extended as an option to your policy.
