IBM Services, the largest consulting organization in the world, is proud to be a Systems Integrator for Duck Creek Technologies. Duck Creek Technologies is one of the few insurance software providers that IBM has agreed to build a dedicated practice to support.

New technologies, changing demographics and channels, and increasing consumer expectations are just some of the challenges facing today’s insurers. Traditional business models are under strain as insurers look to increase customer interactions and become trusted risk advisors, but are held back by legacy system constraints and operational expense. IBM inspires its insurance clients to re-imagine how their organizations innovate, operate, and engage with their customers, employees, and ecosystem using digital and emerging technologies. We enable clients to offer new experiences, to possess a new and disruptive focus on business model innovation and market activation, and to accelerate the build of new expertise and new ways to work.

As a business and technology partner of choice to our clients, we work with clients to design solutions, modernize and optimize their businesses, and deliver sustained value through end-to-end capabilities that take our clients from inception to support. Our insurance-trained business consultants understand the insurance industry globally and locally to facilitate faster implementations. Our technology consultants not only are trained in Duck Creek implementation, but are experienced and trained in all of the surround technologies and business issues (interfaces, conversions, business processing, data, etc) that facilitate successful implementations.

During implementation, our services experts can help you apply advanced technologies to modernize operations and drive growth. They are thought leaders, innovators, distinguished engineers, consultants, and IT architects who have worked with thousands of clients to transform enterprise IT.

We look forward to bringing our experience and expertise to your insurance project.
