Coretech Insight Report: Insurers Can See Up to $25M Revenue Gain

A Coretech Insight Study Commissioned by Socotra

Insurers know that speed and agility are key to growth. But they struggle to quantify the value of investing in new technologies in terms of speed-to-market and revenue. To address this challenge, Coretech Insight, an independent advisory firm focused on core technology for the insurance industry, conducted a breakthrough study modeling three real-world scenarios to assess the economic value of speed-to-market, using publicly available industry and government data and validation by senior industry participants.

The analysis compared product launches for incumbent systems against new cloud-native agile platforms and found that insurers that launch products faster by deploying cloud agile technology are able to generate a revenue gain of as much as $25 million over five years.

What will you learn from this report? You’ll get the detailed information supporting these results and learn how findings like these were determined in this analysis:

  • The benefits of shorter time-to-market exceeded the costs of implementing and operating new cloud technology by a wide margin—as much as 40 times the cost of implementation.
  • Cloud agile technology can trim product launch times to a matter of months versus typical timeframes of a year to 18 months for outdated systems.
  • Cloud agile platform product launches enable insurers to capture revenue that would otherwise be lost to extended launch timeframes.
  • Insurers are forfeiting millions of dollars in new premiums due to delays common with incumbent systems.

CAPE Analytics and Socotra Announce Partnership Aimed at Providing Carriers with Access to Next-Generation Property Intelligence

The partnership will allow insurers to leverage CAPE Analytics’ best-in-class geospatial property insights through Socotra, the first truly modern core platform for insurers

CAPE Analytics, the leader in AI-powered property intelligence, announced it is partnering with Socotra, the first cloud-native insurance core platform, to offer carriers a new form of loss-predictive information directly through Socotra’s platform. The integration will be made available on Socotra Marketplace, the first no-code app marketplace for insurers, and will power better underwriting results and more granular policy pricing.

Specifically, the two companies will provide joint customers with seamless access to CAPE’s advanced property intelligence data, powered by geospatial imagery, risk-relevant information, and machine learning. CAPE insights, such as its proprietary Roof Condition Rating and Wildfire Intelligence, are already in use by 60+ carriers, which rely on CAPE’s market-leading data accuracy and speed to increase underwriting efficiency, inform better risk segmentation, and improve rating models.

“CAPE’s partnership with Socotra will unlock additional opportunities for insurers to quickly and seamlessly integrate an array of new risk signals into quoting and underwriting workflows without waiting for IT bandwidth,” said Busy Cummings, Chief Revenue Officer at CAPE Analytics. “This integration combines CAPE’s speed and data maturity with Socotra’s robust ecosystem, to help modernize underwriting and straight-through processing for carriers.”

As the first truly modern core platform for the insurance industry, Socotra provides expansive functionality across the end-to-end policy lifecycle, including underwriting and rating, policy administration, billing, claims, and reporting. Leveraging Socotra’s open APIs, cloud-native architecture, and powerful data model, insurers can rapidly develop and deploy innovative products while lowering total cost of ownership.

“We are thrilled to welcome CAPE as a charter partner of Socotra Marketplace,” said Ekine Akuiyibo, Vice President of Business Development and Deployments at Socotra. “Socotra already enables insurers to easily configure our flexible rating and underwriting engine or build their own proprietary pricing model on top of our platform. With instant access to CAPE’s next-generation property intelligence directly through Socotra, insurers now gain even more powerful tools to improve risk assessment and deliver personalized pricing.”
