We believe that true innovation can only occur when you are 100% focussed on your core objective”

This belief is evidenced both with the introduction of some of the first comprehensive data analytics and business intelligence offerings to the insurance market in the early 2000’s and more recently the launch of the market leading Rulebook software to the commercial pricing and rating space.
