st EcoExchange™ is a next-generation marketplace of partner apps designed to enable the insurance industry to make its transition to the digital, on-demand era,” commented Manish Shah, President and Chief Product Officer at Majesco. “The EcoExchange™ supports both experimentation and the creation of new business models with the ability to rapidly scale.

“Insurers clearly recognize the value of fanatical attention on customer experience and the need to deliver innovative new products through the use of new digital capabilities and new sources of data. But those that have to individually curate these solutions and then integrate the solutions one at a time will face increasingly high costs”, said Karlyn Carnahan, head of Celent’s property casualty practice for the Americas. “This pre-curated ecosystem with the ability to rapidly deploy solutions gives a tremendous jumpstart to carriers who are looking for rapid transformation.”
