Meet Your Commercial Insurance & Specialty Experts
Our Commercial Insurance & Specialty experts support carriers, MGAs, and market participants in transforming how they manage risk, claims, and delegated authority. Combining deep industry expertise with cutting-edge technology, we help clients modernize their operating models, improve data quality, and drive efficiency across the insurance value chain.
From AI strategy and exposure management to digital claims and delegated authority transformation, our team enables faster decisions, smarter underwriting, and stronger resilience in an evolving risk landscape.
How We Help You Succeed in Commercial Insurance & Specialty
We help commercial and specialty insurers modernise their operations, strengthen risk capabilities, and unlock new efficiencies across the value chain. Our approach is pragmatic and technology-enabled — combining deep domain expertise with scalable digital solutions tailored to the complex needs of commercial lines.
Delegated Authority Management
Digitise and streamline bordereaux workflows, audit processes, and compliance checks. We support both carriers and MGAs with governance tooling and scalable reporting infrastructure.
AI Strategy & Enablement
Define and implement AI-driven operating models that enhance underwriting precision, pricing accuracy, and claims efficiency — with strong governance and measurable impact.
Claims Transformation
Leverage data and automation to build intelligent claims journeys. Our solutions improve fraud detection, accelerate settlement, and enhance the policyholder experience.
Exposure Management
Implement integrated platforms and analytics that enable real-time scenario modelling, capital optimisation, and better decision-making around catastrophe risk.
Risk Engineering Enablement
Enhance risk visibility and prevention with digital platforms and data-driven services. We help carriers deliver more value to clients through smarter risk assessment and mitigation.
ORDA & Risk Data Modernisation
As a contributor to the Open Risk Data Association (ORDA), we enable insurers to adopt standardised risk data models — improving interoperability, pricing accuracy, and submission processes.
Our solutions are designed to simplify complexity, accelerate transformation, and future-proof operations in a dynamic and competitive commercial insurance landscape.
