Marlborough, MA – April 22nd, 2021: To rapidly ramp up its market presence with specialty products in the wholesale marketplace for Excess Transportation Liability (XTL) insurance of large cargo movements, Upland Capital Group (UCG) (www.uplandcapgroup.com) of Dallas, TX has gone live in 90 days and writing new business on its first day in the market with OneShield Software’s (www.OneShield.com) SaaS offering, OneShield Market Solutions.

Working closely with OneShield’s implementation team, Upland Capital Group was rating, quoting, and binding its first product within three months from signing with OneShield, a week ahead of its targeted timeline.

With a $200-million equity investment, the specialty insurance company initially surveyed the technology market with very specific technical requirements to fulfill its strategic goals – technology that would allow the company to get to market quickly and also scale as UCG grows. Additionally, the technology vendor needed to have readily available insurance content that could be leveraged “as-is” while also allowing UCG to tailor its offerings and servicing for wholesale brokers in the XTL market.

OneShield is providing Upland with automated solutions for policy, billing, claims, and reporting, all with full end-to-end services. “We are pleased to partner with OneShield,” says Todd C. Hart, CEO of Upland Capital Group. “As a new company, we are not beholden to any legacy technology, so we did a thorough search for software that could meet today’s specialty insurance needs. OneShield’s comprehensive SaaS offering and ongoing support were in line with what we needed as we launched our company.”

OneShield Market Solutions’ SaaS platform matched and exceeded all of UCG’s search requirements. OneShield provides out-of-the-box insurance content and functionality for policy management from quoting, binding, and servicing, for billing from invoicing through to payment, and for claims administration from first notice of loss through to payment, including document management, reporting, and analysis – all of which is configurable for bespoke and company-specific required changes. “OneShield’s capability to automate many workflows and processes in the insurance lifecycle was particularly appealing,” notes Hart.

“OneShield is proud to form this partnership with Upland Capital Group,” says Cameron Parker, OneShield’s Chief Executive Officer. “UCG is the third start-up to join the OneShield family in a handful of months, proving that our ability to get our customers to market quickly with a scalable technology stack, a pricing model that reduces cost-to-market, and an agile and seamless implementation model are all increasingly important.”

Executing on plans to further enhance and expand its software development and quality assurance teams, OneShield opens new office in Goa, India tapping into renowned engineering schools and drawing in the highest skilled programming and system analysts from the region.

Marlborough, MA – June 6th, 2019: OneShield Software (www.OneShield.com) is pleased to announce its office expansion earmarking the fifth global location for the company.

Located on the southwestern coast of India with a population of 1.459 million residents, Goa has the highest GDP per capita among all Indian states and is ranked among the top regions for infrastructure and quality of life.

In April 2019, OneShield completed an extensive campus recruitment campaign at two of Goa’s premier colleges — Padre Conceicao College of Engineering (PCCE) in Verna, Goa and Goa Engineering College (GEC) in Ponda, Goa. Over a dozen graduates were offered positions and will be joining the new Goa office in the business hub of Panjim in July.

New licensing agreement expands on a long‐standing relationship between the companies. The arrangement will accelerate Erie Insurance’s strategic investment to introduce new Commercial product offerings in new and existing markets through an enhanced digital experience.

Marlborough, MA – May 30th, 2019: After almost a decade of collaboration with OneShield Software (www.OneShield.com), Erie Insurance Group (“ERIE”) (www.ErieInsurance.com) of Erie, Pennsylvania is expanding their use of OneShield Policy across all its commercial insurance lines. Erie Insurance has also secured future licensing permissions to consolidate their personal and life lines of business on the same policy platform.

“Before making this decision, we did extensive research on the latest technologies available within our industry,” says Timothy Shine, ERIE’s Vice President, Commercial Lines Technology. “It validates that OneShield Policy remains the best platform for our technology transformation and plans for future growth. OneShield provides a robust and flexible platform that is routinely enhanced, offering us an advantage in the industry.”

OneShield Policy will enable ERIE to advance its digital strategy of simplification and consolidation on an extendable and adaptable platform. Today, they have multiple portals supporting various product offerings. The new capabilities within OneShield Policy will allow ERIE to consolidate its product offerings while maximizing existing technology investments.

Another feature that will enable ERIE to advance its strategy, notes Shine, is OneShield’s Package Designer. “This capability will enable us to easily wrap together different lines of coverage into a single policy package,” he says. “As a result, we can have seamless filing adoption by state or jurisdiction, without having to maintain distinct products for each state.”

“ERIE has been a long‐time valued customer of OneShield and we are ecstatic they selected us as their enterprise platform for their commercial lines products,” says Liza Smith, OneShield’s Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Consulting.

“The implementation of OneShield Policy will provide ERIE the comfort of a single, scalable platform while providing the option to interface with key existing technologies and portals,” says Smith. “For a fast‐growing business such as ERIE, this ultimately offers the opportunities for the speed and flexibility the industry demands for their on‐going policy management needs.”

The first was OneShield’s Program Consulting Group’s value proposition which provides the leadership and governance to manage complex insurance technology transformations. The consulting group provides a consistent consultative methodology to addressing costs, timelines and the planned sequencing of their project. Leveraging this methodology, Utica First can measure and monitor progress throughout the whole program.

The other factor that helped with Utica First’s decision was OneShield’s Services Designer — a collection of pre-defined configurable Services that allows third-party applications to remotely execute business transactions directly on the platform. This capability ensures Utica First has the ability to expand its ecosystem, deliver through additional channels and leverage the best
technologies the market has to offer.

“Utica First clearly has a history of long-term partnerships with their vendor providers, and we are very proud to have been selected as their platform of choice,” says Liza Smith, OneShield’s Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Consulting. “We look forward to helping Utica First navigate their technology transformation and provide a solid foundation for business responsiveness and operational excellence”.

Startup WestCongress Insurance Services Launches Operations Using OneShield Software’s “As-A-Service” Platform

WestCongress Insurance Services rapidly scaled its policy administration and claims operations with OneShield Market Solutions, a cloud-based offering focused on reducing overall technology costs, decreasing implementation timelines and managing end-to-end operations.

Marlborough, MA – April 20th, 2017: The experienced management team of WestCongress Insurance Services LLC (West Congress) of Detroit, MI, a newly-launched managing general agent (MGA), knew leveraging a cloud-based “As-A-Service” platform would allow the company to ramp-up product and service offerings rapidly — creating a competitive advantage by enhancing speed-to-market capabilities for its coast-to-coast network of brokers and agents. After an extensive search of the market, WestCongress chose OneShield Market Solutions for MGAs, a solution designed specifically for the specialized needs of the MGA market. Focusing first on the rapid deployment of the policy management module, WestCongress quickly opted to implement the claims module to meet the stringent claims management requirements of Lloyd’s of London. “OneShield’s ability to deliver our system from the cloud in a rapid manner was appealing to us,” says Edward LaFramboise, President of WestCongress. “Their commercial lines expertise and industry knowledge — coupled with a scalable system that is clearly architected for our type of business, gives us confidence as we move forward.” The “As-A-Service” (AAS) cloud offering allows WestCongress and other MGAs to focus on their business while OneShield focuses on managing the technology, including updates and enhancements. OneShield’s AAS approach also gives WestCongress the ability to leverage the platform’s built-in content and workflows, as well as its self-service web portal capabilities for producers and other third-parties using intuitive and self-administering tools.

WestCongress serves diverse and specialized markets, including general liability and excess insurance for the energy, artisan contractor and security industries. As a result, quickly rolling out new offerings is critically important for the company. “I was particularly impressed with how OneShield’s solution can deploy lines of business using a spreadsheet rating system,” says LaFramboise. Rather than coding algorithms into a rating engine, OneShield’s platform simply embeds the spreadsheets into the back-end of the system — significantly slashing development and product deployment time. OneShield Market Solutions’ MGA platform delivers a secure and configurable end-to-end system that empowers team members to record prospective accounts, manage submissions, rate, generate proposals, track carrier clearance and even bind multiple lines of business for multiple carriers — complete with automated workflows and rules designed for MGAs. “We’re thrilled to welcome WestCongress Insurance Services to the OneShield family, and to be working alongside the WestCongress team”, says Liza Smith, SVP Global Sales & Marketing. “Our transaction-based pricing model for cloud-based solutions is a clear disrupter in the industry and it was among the key factors attracting WestCongress Insurance Services’ attention.” “Allowing organizations to pay as they grow embodies our goal to be a trusted partner,” adds Smith. “By offering a true Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model, we can ensure rapid and on-going maintenance and upgrades. Combined with transaction pricing, that is proving to be a welcome differentiator in this market.”

OneShield’s policy administration suite will leverage a pre-built integration framework to GhostDraft’s comprehensive, cloud-based customer communications management solution (CCM).

U.S. Property Catastrophe Insurance Provider ICAT Goes Live with OneShield Software

For Immediate Release

Improving service level response times, increasing overall efficiencies and end-to-end system support for their middle-market business were the main goals of the premier provider of property insurance in catastrophe-exposed regions

Marlborough, MA — July 14th, 2016; ICAT of Broomfield, CO, has automated and streamlined manual processes using OneShield Enterprise, a fully integrated, secure and configurable end-to-end policy administration solution.

ICAT clears 40,000+ catastrophe insurance submissions each year and runs a good majority of these submissions through per account CAT risk modeling and underwriting reviews. ICAT produces thousands of middle-market quotes each year alongside managing a large renewal book. Until now, the majority of this work was managed using multi-step and often complex manual processes.

OneShield’s platform empowered ICAT to automate key aspects of its submission management, clearance, rating, modeling, and quoting processes, as well as referral workflow, document filing, operational processing of secondary transactions and policy issuance. “The automation of central aspects of our underwriting process will significantly enhance our ability to respond quickly and efficiently to the needs of producers, agents and their customers with a single platform solution that eliminates redundancies,” says Gregory Butler, ICAT’s President. “OneShield worked closely with our team to ensure its technology platform not only replaced our legacy processes but also expanded our system capabilities for future growth.”

OneShield’s robust workflow engine now enables ICAT’s underwriters to have the ability to access an online, integrated end-to-end underwriting and processing platform that automates workflows, reduces inefficiencies, and allows ICAT to deliver faster turnaround time to producers.

Key to ICAT’s selection decision was choosing a technology platform that would effectively integrate with ICAT’s own proprietary technologies, enabling a seamless and integrated solution with enterprise-class third-party software services unique to the risk management field. Models can now be run easily from within OneShield’s solution. OneShield and OneShield Insurance Software are registered trademarks of One Shield, Inc.
