LONDON, November 25, 2021 — Willis Towers Watson and software provider CodeEast have announced a global partnership offering a new digital transformation solution for insurance companies and MGAs. Combining Willis Towers Watson’s Radar Live with CodeEast's ONEview digital insurance platform provides a solution that maximises profit margins through real-time risk assessment and reduces operational costs by deploying state-of-the-art insurance product distribution technology.
The insurance industry is undergoing massive digital disruption. Insurance brokers are demanding self-service digital solutions, customers want innovative digital products personalised to their needs, insurers wish to deploy new digital business models and MGAs require cost reduction through digital automation. All these related demands mean speed, control and agility are key drivers of success in this new digital world.
CodeEast’s ONEview Digital Insurance Platform uses digital technology to automate complex processes involved in the sales, administration and distribution of insurance products. The combination with Radar Live, Willis Towers Watson’s cutting-edge price delivery and decision engine platform, allows ONEview to call Radar Live for real-time pricing requests from models developed in the wider Radar pricing suite. At the push of a button, insurers can inject simple-to-complex rating algorithms via Radar Live into ONEview, to deliver in real time and with accuracy rates that meet the competitive and evolving needs of the market.
“The combination of the ONEview and Radar Live systems will help expedite the important journey our respective clients may have towards digital excellence.”
