NEW YORK – February 26, 2018 – Argo Pro, a member of Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGII), today announced a partnership with eBaoTech Corporation to streamline Argo Pro’s core insurance processes to better serve agents, brokers and clients. eBaoTech is a global leading digital-insurance-solutions provider, offering both traditional on premise software and microservices based cloud solutions. Argo Pro offers a broad portfolio of management liability products that can be accessed through a single professional lines platform.
“This partnership will help us improve business processes, as we actively pursue innovative ways to serve customers,” said Kevin Rehnberg, president of U.S. operations at Argo Group. “We are looking forward to using more cutting-edge eBaoTech capabilities to improve products and operational processes.”
Through this partnership, Argo Pro will use eBaoTech’s platform to integrate policy administration, claims handling, billing and sales-channel administration, while continuing to stay on the forefront of technology service. Argo will also incorporate a new generation of eBaoTech products that feature a wide variety of new capabilities, including a quick-rate tool and multi-quote options, which will enable Argo to respond faster and more effectively to brokers.
“eBaoTech has a strong, proven record in serving insurance carriers in more than 30 countries, and now has more than 100 tenants from the insurance industry and more than 1,000 insurance products on our microservices based eBaoCloud platform,” said Woody Mo, CEO at eBaoTech. “Getting to work with one of the foremost specialty insurance groups in the world is mutually beneficial. The partnership will only bring about more positive change in the future.”
The new eBaoTech technology integrates seamlessly with Argo’s internal core systems, such as data warehouse, document management and forms generation. Argo’s responsiveness to customer needs will improve greatly due to the enhanced configuration capabilities that enable the company to make changes quickly to products, rates, business rules and user-interfaces. This collaboration is a key step for both corporations in delivering value for clients and becoming worldwide leaders in their respective areas of specialization.
