London, 26 September 2023 – AdvantageGo, a leading commercial insurance and reinsurance technology provider, part of Coforge, today announces a partnership to provide its ‘Underwriting’ workbench application to Canopius, a global specialty (re)insurer.

The workbench will be implemented across all lines of insurance and reinsurance business underwritten within Canopius UK and London Market teams, and is expected to go live next year.

Underwriting from AdvantageGo systemises an underwriter’s knowledge and delivers analytics-driven insights throughout the decision-making process.

Consolidating all underwriting functions into a single platform, Underwriting integrates into established core policy administration systems, driving significant benefits in operational efficiency and data accuracy that massively increases the velocity and agility of decision making.

Powered by an ecosystem of data providers that supports data led decisions, Underwriting proactively delivers new business insights and risk specific knowledge. Combined with an underwriter’s own intellectual property, underwriters can create new products, understand risk at new levels of granularity and differentiate beyond their peers.

Kate Roy, Group Chief Operating Officer of Canopius, said: “Our underwriters are highly engaged with, and excited by, this project, which will function as the test case for the technology’s broader rollout across lines of business.”

Roy said: “Improved insights and automation gains, streamlining and improving operational processes, which the Underwriting workbench application will bring to our teams, will ultimately lead to better decision-making by better-informed underwriters. We see considerable value in this product.”

Ian Summers, Global Business Leader, AdvantageGo, said: “Underwriting workbench is our flagship product, and here it is being rolled out within a global specialty (re)insurer.”

He continued: “The application integrates with other existing tools, such as those that Canopius uses for pricing and sanctions checks. The goal is to provide underwriters with a single-pane-of-glass view of risks that they can use to market-leading effect.”

Summers added: “This announcement is a win-win situation for the client and our own development team at AdvantageGo. I look forward to watching those gains and seeing that value as Underwriting’s groundbreaking rollout continues in 2024.”
