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technology can trim product launch times to a matter of months versus typical timeframes of a year to 18 months for outdated systems.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.

Ledgebrook Goes Live With Socotra Connected Core Targeting the Underserved Wholesale Broker Market

Socotra, the next-generation core platform provider for modern insurers, together with Ledgebrook, an InsurTech MGA focused on the excess and surplus (E&S) market, today announced the launch of Ledgebrook’s new platform, powered by Socotra Connected Core.

“Our team collaborated closely with Ledgebrook to understand their unique needs and ensure the successful implementation of the Socotra Connected Core and the accompanying ecosystem of market leading insurance applications. We wish them well with their exciting growth ambitions.”

The end-to-end platform empowers Ledgebrook to redefine speed and service in the US wholesale broker market by offering a faster and simpler quoting experience, as well as best-in-class pricing and risk selection while streamlining operations, enhancing customer experiences, and accelerating new product launches.

Ledgebrook, a Boston-based InsurTech MGA founded in March 2022, set out to introduce the powerful combination of cutting-edge technology and deep insurance expertise in the E&S space, with the goal of delivering a best-in-class experience to the previously underserved wholesale broker community.

The company is initially launching with a broad-appetite E&S GL product that will give brokers a competitive edge with increased quote-to-bind speed and an enhanced customer service.

“Ledgebrook has fast track growth objectives, which Socotra enables us to accelerate. We can provide our wholesale broker customers with better, swifter and more innovative insurance solutions than ever before, backed by the outstanding service they deserve,” said Gage Caligaris, Founder and CEO of Ledgebrook.

“We are excited to see Ledgebrook leverage the capabilities of Connected Core and App Marketplace to bring their new products to market more rapidly and enhance their customer experience,” said Dan Woods, founder and CEO of Socotra.

Ledgebrook’s platform integration was led by Socotra’s implementation partner, DataArt, a global software engineering firm with over 6,000 professionals in over 25 locations, worldwide, which enabled Ledgebrook to achieve a swift and successful implementation of the platform in under four months.

Yaroslav (Slava) Buga, Vice President at DataArt said: “Our team collaborated closely with Ledgebrook to understand their unique needs and ensure the successful implementation of the Socotra Connected Core and the accompanying ecosystem of market leading insurance applications. We wish them well with their exciting growth ambitions.”

Ledgebrook and Socotra will be sharing the stage to discuss ”Using the Ecosystem to Accelerate Speed to Launch: A Real-World Example,” at the upcoming Insurtech Insights USA, June 7-8 in New York City. Attend the session to gain valuable insights or stop by the Socotra booth 812 during the show.
