LexisNexis Risk Solutions (Atlanta) has launched LexisNexis Global Insurance Alliance program which lets insurers integrate with more than 125 alliance program members to access LexisNexis policy and claims solutions that leverage what the vendor asserts is the industry’s most comprehensive data repository, a proprietary method of linking and clustering data, and the processing speed of the LexisNexis HPCC Systems big data computing platform. The prebuilt technology integrations will accelerate time to market for insurance carriers by delivering advanced analytics and new innovations through a scalable platform, the vendor says.
“The insurance industry has steadily moved toward prebuilt solutions that use a software-as-a-service architecture, and the LexisNexis Risk Solutions platform is designed for this type of delivery model,” comments Drew Whitmore, Senior Director of Global Alliances, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. “For the past two decades, we have been working with various organizations to bring our data analytics products to our mutual insurance customers, but have now created more structure and a formal program. With this launch, our goal is to make insurers aware of the many relationships we have in place so that they can easily tap into them. We also want to help insurers get their products to market faster, which helps them stay competitive.”
The LexisNexis alliance program includes three types of alliances, according to the vendor’s announcement:
- Data Delivery
- Systems Integrator
- Industry Organization
Data Delivery Alliances distribute LexisNexis data analytics solutions through their own insurance software products, such as claims or policy administration systems. Systems Integrators provide carriers with resources and expertise to complete a technology transformation initiative, and Industry Organization Alliances offer best practices and thought leadership to help improve outcomes.

Duck Creek Technologies, a Data Delivery Alliance partner, has integrated several LexisNexis claims and underwriting solutions with its Duck Creek OnDemand platform. “The LexisNexis Insurance Alliance program expands our business potential by reaching the widest base of P&C insurance companies globally,” comments Patti Griffin, Chief Product Officer at Duck Creek (Boston). “The breadth of the data, risk analytics and services from LexisNexis combined with Duck Creek’s solutions gives carriers real-time access to thousands of data sources, as well as the speed to put it to work for insurers immediately.”
Alliance members, representing a range of technology providers and up-and-coming InsurTechs get exposure to LexisNexis relationships with more than 600 insurers in the home, auto, life and commercial insurance segments, according to the vendor.
