Socotra has launched Socotra CorePlus, a line of complete insurance IT solutions composed of Socotra Connected Core, integrated via Socotra App MarketPlace with prominent industry software and data providers, including Mendix, Snapsheet, and Stripe. The vendor describes Socotra CorePlus as designed to decrease risk and costs, while increasing speed-to-market and standardization.

The vendor makes its case for the new solution suite by noting that insurers today consistently want to leverage up to 15 point solutions to drive value for different use cases across their organizations. However, the vendor statement continues, most core systems stifle this progress due to long and expensive integration projects that pose a high risk of failure.
The Socotra CorePlus option offers insurers a pre-integrated solution connecting what it calls the industry’s best software providers. Socotra CorePlus also empowers insurers to future-proof their tech stack by quickly and easily swapping out third-party technology providers via Socotra App MarketPlace, the vendor says.
CorePlus has launched with two offerings: CorePlus Homeowners and CorePlus Auto. The vendor says that these build on its successful track record with 14 customers in these lines of business, with both solutions providing insurers with flexible, market-ready features that accelerate product launches, improve efficiency, and power innovation.
“The needs of today’s insurers have far outstripped what any one vendor can provide,” comments Dan Woods, Founder and CEO of Socotra. “Socotra CorePlus delivers a line of end-to-end insurance IT solutions from the industry’s leading technology providers. Insurers gain control of their business and increase their competitiveness through the agility that Socotra CorePlus provides.”
