Instec partners with NIIT Technologies to create a subscription-based surety bond service

Naperville, IL (PRWEB) December 01, 2016

Instec, a market leader in the delivery of software solutions for commercial program and specialty writers, announced a strategic partnership with NIIT Technologies, a leading global IT solutions organization, to co-develop N-Surety, a subscription-based solution for the automation of surety bonds. The new service promises to reduce expenses and improve turnaround time for surety bond issuers.

With the expansion of construction in the United States, the demand for contract and commercial surety bonds has increased. Many insurers and brokers are struggling with older surety bond systems and processes that make it difficult to keep up. Moreover, with the cyclical nature of the real estate market, traditional license-based pricing models make many systems unprofitable when surety bond volume contracts.

"We saw a widening gap between the needs of surety providers and the capabilities of older systems," said Lalit Dhingra, U.S. President, NIIT Technologies. "Within property & casualty (P&C), surety is a niche market that can be best served with a modern Software as a Service (SaaS), subscription-based technology platform. With N-Surety, we're bringing the economic advantages of a cloud-based, pay-as-you-go solution to this often-ignored corner of the market."

The NIIT Technologies surety bond solution provides underwriting and forms generation services from a cloud-based platform, eliminating the need for on-premises infrastructure and system management resources. Pricing is based on a per-bond-per-year subscription fee, with no separate licensing fee, enabling surety bond issuers to align costs with business volume.

"NIIT Technologies selected Instec to configure its software platform to provide a new solution to the surety market", Dhingra said. "Our N-Surety offering is a subscription model that insurance customers can utilize to lower the customer's expense ratio."

"Surety may be a new segment for Instec, but our deployment and pricing approaches are already well-aligned with the needs of this market," said Kevin Mason, Executive Vice President at Instec. "Cloud-hosted deployment, a managed content library, and pricing that scales up or down with the business offers surety bond providers greater agility and increased profits."

Instec, NIIT Technologies, and Novarica hosted a webinar, "Optimizing the Surety Bond Process for Greater Financial Rewards", on Sept. 28. The webinar recording can be accessed online.
