Specialist insurer Ecclesiastical has announced a multi-year partnership with Cytora, an insurance technology company. Ecclesiastical will deploy the Cytora Platform to streamline their risk intake across the UK enabling Ecclesiastical to accelerate profitable growth while giving brokers and customers a better, faster experience.
The Cytora platform will be integrated into the Ecclesiastical new business workflow increasing the capacity for growth in specialist risk segments through a more efficient, effective and data-driven pipeline, quote and bind process. The partnership builds on the success that Ecclesiastical has achieved in working with Cytora over the last 12 months to unify data flows and effectively focus capacity on priority risk segments.
The partnership comes as Ecclesiastical seeks to deepen its capabilities through investment in technology and innovation to enhance propositions and service to customers. It also comes at a time when the pressure on firms to find ways to become more profitable are mounting. Just this week, Amazon announced that it will be offering insurance to SMEs. Cytora focuses on commercial lines and has some interesting thoughts on how businesses can combat the threat of big tech by using technology, data and artificial intelligence to increase profitability and competitiveness
Adrian Saunders, Commercial Director at Ecclesiastical said:
“At Ecclesiastical, we are committed to providing exceptional service to our customers and brokers. Cytora will enable us to grow our scale across our specialist markets, embed and reinforce a data-driven culture and empower our underwriters to provide better service to customers and brokers”
Juan de Castro, COO / CCO at Cytora said:
“The commercial insurance industry is undergoing rapid digital transformation. We’re excited to partner with Ecclesiastical, expanding on the success of our relationship so far, and accelerate fundamental processes on its journey to become a digitally enabled insurer”
