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technology can trim product launch times to a matter of months versus typical timeframes of a year to 18 months for outdated systems.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

Socotra launches CorePlus line of end-to-end insurance IT solutions, powered by Socotra Connected Core and Socotra App MarketPlace

Socotra CorePlus includes two offerings: CorePlus Homeowners and CorePlus Auto

AUSTIN, Texas — February 27, 2023 — Socotra today announced the launch of Socotra CorePlus™, a line of complete insurance IT solutions composed of Socotra Connected Core, seamlessly integrated via Socotra App MarketPlace with industry-leading software and data providers, including Mendix, Snapsheet, and Stripe. Socotra CorePlus is designed to decrease risk and costs, while increasing speed-to-market and standardization. 

Insurers today consistently want to leverage up to 15 point solutions to drive value for different use cases across their organizations. However, most core systems stifle this progress due to long and expensive integration projects that pose a high risk of failure. With Socotra CorePlus, insurers get a pre-integrated solution connecting the industry’s best software providers. Socotra CorePlus also empowers insurers to future-proof their tech stack by quickly and easily swapping out third-party technology providers via Socotra App MarketPlace.

CorePlus launches today with two offerings: CorePlus Homeowners and CorePlus Auto. Building upon Socotra’s successful track record with 14 customers in these lines of business, both solutions provide insurers with flexible, market-ready features that accelerate product launches, improve efficiency, and power innovation.

“The needs of today’s insurers have far outstripped what any one vendor can provide,” said Dan Woods, Founder and CEO of Socotra. “Socotra CorePlus delivers a line of end-to-end insurance IT solutions from the industry’s leading technology providers. Insurers gain control of their business and increase their competitiveness through the agility that Socotra CorePlus provides.”

CorePlus includes a powerful suite of features designed for the entire policy lifecycle:

  • Socotra Connected Core empowers insurers to easily configure and scale cloud-native insurance products 
  • Socotra App MarketPlace delivers instant access to industry-leading insurance products and services through a simple click-to-run experience
  • Socotra Unified Portal streamlines the sales channel with frontend experiences for customers and agents
  • Underwriting Workbench, powered by Mendix, streamlines insurers’ applications and processes by providing automation to underwriters while speeding decisions and amplifying the human touch
  • Distribution Management, powered by Mendix, gives carriers a holistic view of their producers and more efficient means to managing those relationships
  • SnapSheet Claims Management is an all-in-one system that simplifies and improves the customer claims experience
  • Stripe Payment Links allows carriers to quickly and easily accept payments for insurance premiums

“Together, Socotra and Mendix share a mission to make the insurance agent’s and underwriter’s life easier,” said Mendix CEO, Tim Srock. “Delivering a more modern user experience to the insurance world is only the beginning. Insurers can use the Underwriting Workbench or Distribution Management solutions, and they can also use the power of the Mendix platform to compose many types of solutions and integrate them with Socotra.”

“Snapsheet, like Socotra, is deeply invested in giving customers the best experiences possible,” said Snapsheet Founder and CEO, Brad Weisberg. “In this era of modern ecosystems, it’s important that they’re given the power to build a product to their specification, or be confident that the product they’re buying is powered by the highest-rated products and services in the industry. That’s why we’re delighted to provide our best-in-class claims solution as part of Socotra’s seamless CorePlus suite.”
