Eucover.com selects Duck Creek

2 May 2008

Dutch insurer Eucover.com has chosen the Example Platform from Duck Creek Technologies Europe, to provide direct-to-insured private motor quotations and underwriting transactions.

Example Platform will help Eucover.com to ensure speedy delivery of new products to the Dutch insurance market. Based on Microsoft .NET, the platform will deliver Eucover.com’s policy application and quote process, enabling the company to develop and deploy products quickly while effectively scaling the business.

The initial implementation will focus on private motor insurance for the Dutch market, and ultimately the system is expected to support the rating, underwriting and transactional processing needs of all Eucover.com’s products throughout its chosen markets.

“Duck Creek was an obvious choice to allow us to choose a component-based approach to our insurance software provisions,” said John Cunningham, director of Eucover.com. “This allows us to choose best-of-breed insurance software to enable us to get our products to market in a quick and efficient manner. Duck Creek’s ability to rapidly deploy and build new products will also allow Eucover.com to expand into our chosen markets in a timely fashion.”

The relationship between the two companies will also help in the future development of the platform. “Eucover.com’s input and feedback on our products and services will be invaluable as we continue our efforts to offer even greater value to our Example Platform user community,” said Harald Karlsen, CEO of Duck Creek.
