Instec Introduces App Store of Policy Administration Components

Instec announces the introduction and immediate availability of Quicksilver Connect to provide insurers a virtual shopping mall of pre-integrated, web-deployed software components, enabling a fully integrated best-of-breed core processing platform to meet an insurer's specific needs.

Designed specifically for the P&C insurance market, Quicksolver Connect is built around Instec's Quicksolver platform and enables solution developers to choose from applications for every aspect of policy administration—including billing, claims, business intelligence, analytics, and risk data.

Utilizing pre-integrated connectors, insurers are able to create a continually evolving policy administration platform by picking and choosing components as building blocks, resulting in a customized solution to meet their specific needs.

The Quicksolver Connect inventory is comprised of connectors for Instec alliance partners solutions, which are required to meet Instec's standards, are tested for compatibility and performance, and are recertified regularly.  

With the introduction of Quicksolver Connect, Instec has completed its Quicksolver product vision to offer the platform through a range of delivery options to fit each insurer client's preferences for both product and delivery. 

• Quicksolver Enterprise – Traditional on premise implementation
• Quicksilver Cloud – Cloud deployment in Microsoft Azure
• Quicksilver Studio – Product configuration management tool
• Quicksolver Inside – Black Box version used to power partner solutions
• Quicksolver Connect – App store of platform components

“We are excited to introduce Connect as yet another Quicksolver option to give insurers a true best-of-breed approach to their processing needs,” says Bill Budde, vice president of sales and marketing for Instec.  “As the industry continually changes, so do each insurer's needs.  As a result, they need to have an operating environment that can easily adapt and evolve over time.  If we know one thing in insurance, it's that nothing is constant.  Being able to change with the times is critical to insurers remaining competitive and profitable.”
