Say goodbye to costly customizations

By externalizing business logic and connecting via API to component systems, you can make time-consuming customizations a thing of the past. This unique approach enables IT teams to:

Mitigate the challenges between desired rating logic and various regulatory requirements.

Minimize the costly step of defining IP in each component

Reduce initial system implementation costs by approximately 20% - CAN WE SAY THIS? - how can we validate?

Improve system performance by XXX - how? Why does this matter?

Modernize architecture with improved flexibility - can we say this differently?

Eliminate technical complexity to unleash business innovation.

As the insurance industry evolves, it's time to think differently about owning software. At Coherent, we are more than a software solution. We are the partner for innovation, ready to deliver a future of increased efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced agility.

You’ve modeled your risk appetite, your broker list (appointments), and blacklist– yet much of your clearance process remains manual, based on inputs and rules kept in spreadsheets. Triaging takes time. And faster clearance doesn’t always equate to better risk-rating decisioning.

What if you could automate the clearance process from start to finish—including testing on the backend? To get started, all your team needs is what they already have: a working knowledge of Microsoft Excel

Empower your developers to do more with less

Developers can deliver more products with fewer resources by externalizing actuarial models and embracing an agile, microservices-based approach to product deployment. The Coherent Platform includes automated version control and end-to-end audit trails for easy governance and compliance.
