Xceedance was recognized as the ‘Partner of the Year - Software Platform’ for developing a quote/bind/policy administration platform with Archipelago Insurance. Archipelago is a start-up MGA offering personal lines insurance - motor, home, investment property, travel, and pet insurance - to its clients via financial/investment advisory intermediaries.

The judges said the platform: “…will ultimately allow just 12 insurance professionals to manage up to 60,000 policies a year, covering 250,000 individual risks.”

Commenting on the win, Justin Davies, head of EMEA at Xceedance said: “We’re delighted to have a partner like Archipelago - we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We’ve learnt from them and I hope they’ve learnt a lot from us. We’ve built something that we think will help change the London market.”
