The company emphasizes its network of more than 550 contracted agencies and more than 3,800 independent agents.
FCCI's recent expansion into E&S lines focused on enhancing digital capabilities, streamlining operations, and speed to market for new offerings.
By implementing Duck Creek's Policy Administration System and Active Delivery model, FCCI achieved straight-through processing, automated intake, and seamless integration. Regulatory compliance was strengthened while a modern self-service portal provided agents with real-time capabilities.
'Our goal was to reimagine how we serve the commercial insurance market, particularly within E&S lines, and Duck Creek helped us do just that,' said Dave Patel, EVP & Chief Information Officer at FCCI Insurance Group. 'This award is a testament to the innovation, collaboration, and determination of everyone involved in bringing this vision to life.'
Despite the complexities of E&S markets and a tight implementation timeline, FCCI collaborated closely with Duck Creek, Cognizant, and other partners to design, test, and deploy a future-ready solution and ensure quality delivery of production environments.
Following a successful implementation, the launch of FCCI Specialty exceeded initial projections for both premium and policy count, resulting in excitement and positive feedback from FCCI's trusted agency partners.
'From enhanced agent experiences to agile regulatory adaptation, FCCI's story is a powerful example of what's possible through technology, teamwork, and forward-thinking leadership,' said Chris McCloskey, Chief Operating Officer of Duck Creek Technologies. 'Their success reflects not only the power of our platform, but also the dedication of their team and partners in transforming complex business requirements into real, measurable outcomes.'
