The company provides a wide range of cloud software solutions serving property & casualty and life insurance clients across Europe, with leadership positions in Italy, France, and Germany. The company has an international, blue-chip customer portfolio covering insurance and corporate clients of all tiers, including six of the top ten European insurers.
