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technology can trim product launch times to a matter of months versus typical timeframes of a year to 18 months for outdated systems.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

RGAX Selects Socotra as Core Insurance Platform

RGAX will leverage Socotra to innovate and scale life insurance products

We are excited to announce that RGAX LLC (RGAX) , a subsidiary of global reinsurer Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA), has chosen Socotra as its policy administration system. Socotra will power the development of new life insurance products via RGAX’s innovative life insurance company, Greenhouse Life Insurance (Greenhouse Life).

The Partnership between Socotra and RGAX

RGAX first partnered with Socotra in 2017 to launch an accidental death product that enabled wearable-tech users to claim $1,000 of accidental death coverage for 12 months at no cost. The unique features of Socotra’s platform enabled RGAX to go from concept to production in four months, an accelerated time frame unmatched in the industry. Socotra now serves as the policy administration system of choice behind RGAX’s Greenhouse Life.

“Socotra’s platform has enabled us to more quickly design and test innovative approaches while helping to solve problems that many insurance carriers face when looking to address the needs of the modern insurance consumer.” Greenhouse Life COO and RGAX Vice President Scott Grandmont shared. “With Socotra, we can accelerate our proof of concept process and we’re excited to continue this partnership.”

Socotra is the only system with a modern cloud platform, open APIs, and a powerful data model that enables clients to launch innovative products while reducing risks insurance carriers face in bringing products to market.

“We’re thrilled RGAX chose our platform to launch their vision of expansion and transformation of the life insurance ecosystem,” said Dan Woods, CEO, and Founder of Socotra. “We look forward to continue partnering with RGAX as they leverage Socotra’s technology to meet the demands of the evolving insurance marketplace.”

Socotra’s Growing Presence in the Life Insurance Ecosystem

This partnership underscores our rapid momentum and adoption in the life insurance space, including customers like Mutual of Omaha. As part of Socotra’s recent Series B funding, former New York Life President John Kim joined Socotra’s Board of Directors. We look forward to serving new customers in the life insurance ecosystem, empowering them to transform the future of insurance with a cloud-native, open API core platform.
