Celent’s report is designed to help insurers define their core systems requirements and, where appropriate, create a short list of vendors for evaluation. The report notes, “Duck Creek Policy continues to invest in usability. They enhanced their tech stack with a visual page building tool that supports a new user experience approach across the full suite. They’ve created persona-based templates that allow the experience to be tailored by role and easily rolled out.”

Celent Analyst for Europe Craig Beattie comments “Duck Creek continues to expand their menu of cloud-based services making this a nice solution for those that are looking for full cloud deployments. Duck Creek Policy continues to enjoy significant market acceptance, and the company has built out an ecosystem of digital and insurtech partners and has also substantially increased its network of systems integrator partners for system implementation. Duck Creek Policy is a strong, modern solution deployed in multiple countries and will be of interest to insurers across Europe.”

We were early in the game in offering a modern, SaaS policy admin system in the European market, which is now beginning to embrace cloud solutions. In addition to our continued investments in our tools and technology, we’re also investing in European-specific enhancements and functionality.
