The Doctors Company (Napa, Calif.), the largest physician-owned medical professional liability (MPL) carrier in the United Staes, has selected the Duck Creek Suite to replace its in-house-built core systems. The new systems will be delivered via Duck Creek OnDemand, the vendor’s SaaS solution for the property/casualty insurance industry.

Continued Growth and Expansion
“Duck Creek OnDemand will let The Doctors Company focus on the right challenges—continued growth and expansion in an industry experiencing relentless, unprecedented change—while our team handles day-to-day IT operations and application upgrades for them behind the scenes,” comments Andy Dey, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Duck Creek Technologies. “We are happy to welcome The Doctors Company to the Duck Creek family and look forward to helping them continue to lead the MPL industry.”
