Insurity (Hartford, Conn.), a provider of cloud-based software for property/casualty carriers, brokers, and MGAs today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Instec (Naperville, Ill.) as of April 14. Insurity declined to disclose the terms of the acquisition.
Insurity says the acquisition will allow it to further increase in-depth ISO-support to mid-size property casualty carriers, to expand into the $40 billion insurance program business, and to broadens its offerings for MGAs. Instec provides cloud-based software and enterprise solutions to mid-size property/casualty carriers, MGAs, and specialty writers. Instec’s approach to insurance solutions enables mid-size P&C carriers and MGAs to migrate, launch, or expand complex commercial offerings from project initiation to first quote in as little as four weeks.
Instec offers a SaaS-based policy administration platform that both carriers and MGAs can leverage to build out new insurance products, refresh existing ones, or acquire new books of business. “Instec’s out-of-the-box ISO and NCCI content, delivered 90 to 120 days ahead of the effective date, enables P&C carriers to rate, quote, and issue policies faster than competitors,” the Insurity statement says. As a part of Insurity, Instec policy administration customers will now be able to access Insurity’s cloud-based billing, claims, data, and analytics solutions, the vendor says.
Insurity sees Instec’s capabilities and speed of deployment as key to addressing carriers needs to compete in program business, including being able to rapidly onboard new programs in as little as 45 days, or half the time typically required.
