Vertafore Selects AWS as its Preferred Cloud Provider

Insurance technology leader leverages AWS to accelerate its pace of
innovation, unlock data-driven insights, and automate insurance
processes in the cloud

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ:
AMZN), announced that Vertafore, a leading software and data provider to
the insurance industry, is migrating its business-critical products and
workloads to the world’s leading cloud and has selected AWS as its
standard for artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads.
Vertafore is already running key customer-facing workloads on AWS,
including data and analytics solution RiskMatch and agency management
system and comparative rating platform QQ. This move will enable
Vertafore to innovate on top of the most reliable infrastructure and
leverage the breadth and depth of AWS to improve workflows and provide
insights that insurers and underwriters can use to better serve their
customers. Vertafore is working with the Amazon ML Solutions Lab to
build new and enhance existing products using AWS’s machine learning
technologies. For example, Amazon Textract is being leveraged to help
Vertafore extract text and data from virtually any document, and Amazon
SageMaker—a fully managed AWS machine learning service—is enabling
Vertafore to build, train, and deploy machine learning models that will
automate policy checking capabilities for customer service
representatives.

“With more than half a million insurance professionals throughout the
United States using Vertafore solutions, our mission is to empower the
insurance industry by providing exceptional service and powerful
technology to help our customers build strong, trusted relationships
with their customers and grow their businesses,” said Amy Zupon, CEO at
Vertafore. “We aim to enable our customers to innovate and efficiently
scale their businesses through deeper access to information and
insights, while maintaining compliance and the highest levels of
security. After reviewing several potential cloud providers, we chose
AWS because they deliver the leading portfolio of cloud services and
advanced technologies along with the ingenuity, security, reliability,
and agility required to address the insurance industry’s biggest
challenges.”

“Leaders in the insurance industry like Vertafore are adopting AWS to
build more quickly, innovate more easily for their customers, save
money, and operate more efficiently,” said Mike Clayville, Vice
President, Worldwide Commercial Sales at AWS. “With unmatched
capabilities, security, and performance, AWS was a natural choice for
Vertafore as they look not only to scale their existing significant
business, but also create the best experience for their customers.”
