The vendors say the partnership will provide insurers with an intuitive, end-to-end solution to launch and scale innovative products. Socotra describes itself as the first truly modern core platform empowering insurers to easily build new products while reducing implementation and maintenance costs by leveraging open APIs and cloud-native architecture. Unqork says its no-code platform allows enterprise customers to create mission-critical software faster and at a lower cost—all without writing a single line of code.
