We were looking for a platform that would be able to provide “one source of truth” for reinsurance calculations throughout QBE – for both ceded and assumed reinsurance. We also felt that Duck Creek Technologies were a good fit for QBE and that we would be able to work well with them.

Inefficient Legacy Systems

The existing legacy systems lacked the full range of automation necessary for process efficiency.
