The meaning of innovation in ebroker

How could it be otherwise and due to our fundamentally technological nature of insurance software, innovation has been a constant since our beginnings, being the basis of our strategy. We dedicate all our efforts to devise solutions that have a positive impact on the activity of the insurance broker.

We need technology to innovate, but this is only an accelerator of the innovative process, a tool; Above all, we understand innovation as any transformation carried out in ebroker to improve and increase the capabilities of the insurance broker, support the development of its business model, whatever it may be, and help it to be more competitive.

In addition, in innovation it is not enough to introduce a change, it must have a component of novelty, creativity, of “know-how” that differentiates you from the rest, and here it is essential, the knowledge that ebroker has of the professional activity of the insurance broker and of the distribution market, to put yourself in the shoes of the broker and know their current needs, but also project what tools they will need in the future, in an imaginative way.

This search for innovation in our 20 years of experience has allowed us to evolve the product, at the same time that the demands and needs of the insurance broker have evolved, which in turn must meet the demands of its end customer. There are many examples of innovation that ebroker has introduced throughout its history, such as the concept of global connectivity between brokers and insurers in 2005, beyond the multitarification process, or the web environment and cloud infrastructure available since 2012, which have played a fundamental role in the current health crisis by allowing remote work, but it was already a reality for ebroker users since then.

For us insurance software, innovation is also applicable in other areas, not only in the technological or functional field of the platform, but also in the organizational one, carrying out a few months ago, an important evolution in the operational structure with the creation of new areas, the acquisition and retention of young talent and the incorporation of high-level profiles in critical areas such as project and process engineering, software development architecture and advanced user services, which will give us a greater capacity to optimally tackle new projects in the short, medium long term.
