Cobalt Specialty deploys ChainThat BPA platform for surety business
Cobalt Specialty, part of KEWA Financial, has integrated ChainThat's Beyond Policy Administration (BPA) platform to support its Surety business in Canada. This implementation powers Cobalt's strategy to provide solutions in complex insurance sectors, a press release stated. The BPA platform has now been deployed for Cobalt's Surety business line in Toronto, after the launch of the alliance in November 2024. This move aims to enhance Cobalt's ability to enhance specialised lines in the Canadian commercial insurance market. The BPA platform offers modular, API (application programming interface)-driven functionality that enables underwriters, operations teams and distribution partners to streamline their processes. This platform is designed to speed up the entire policy life cycle, including billing, binding, product configuration, quoting, rating and reporting. Cobalt Specialty COO & founding partner Gordon Rider said: 'Partnering with ChainThat has been a great experience. The team worked more like a partner than a vendor, taking the time to understand our business and needs in order to provide a best-in-class scalable offering. ChainThat has delivered a flexible platform that allows us to launch, adapt and scale our offerings efficiently. With BPA, we are now well positioned to support the evolving needs of Canadian industries.' ChainThat, headquartered in the UK, has been serving the insurance industry since 2015 with software-as-a-service-based platforms. In 2024, the company appointed Vikas Acharya as its new CEO. Acharya said: 'The successful implementation with Cobalt Specialty is a great example of what our BPA platform is built for – flexibility, speed and the ability to support complex lines of business. We are thrilled to help Cobalt deliver high-impact solutions to the Canadian market and look forward to expanding our partnership to support their growth in other commercial lines.'

Crucible rookie makes HISTORY in first-ever World Snooker Championship match having watched last tournament in his pants
JUST a year after watching the tournament in his underwear, Zak Surety wrote himself into World Snooker Championship folklore on his debut at The Crucible. The Englishman, playing for the first time in Sheffield, became the first player in history to hit four centuries on debut at the World Snooker Championship. 2 Surety had come through qualifying to earn himself a meeting with 10th seed Ding Junhui - the Godfather of Chinese snooker - in the opening round. Ding, the beaten finalist in 2016 when he lost 18-14 to Mark Selby, ran out a 10-7 victor against Surety, although the world No. 73 greatly impressed on his first showing among snooker's elite. What made Surety's performance that much more impressive was the fact that last year, he had been sat at home watching the tournament in his pants. The Basildon Bull Dog admitted that he was "the biggest snooker nerd" when it came to the season finale. Surety, 33, said: 'Honestly, I'm the biggest snooker nerd when it comes to the Crucible. 'I like to sit in my pants for 17 days and just watch every session on TV. 'I don't move – 10am to midnight every day, just watching snooker. So to be involved with it now, it's unreal. 'I haven't even been there to watch before. "I'm keen on my running. A few years ago, I thought I had never actually seen the place. 'I typed the address into my iPhone maps and ran towards it. When I saw the Stage Door, I felt my knees buckle." Humorously, Surety also said that he watched episodes of EastEnders on BBC iPlayer before games. He said: 'Not many people know but EastEnders goes up on the iPlayer at 6am. 'It's perfect prep for a game – a bit of Phil Mitchell and then the Crucible.' Unfortunately for Surety, he could not rediscover the winning touch that saw him get through three qualifying rounds, including defeating players ranked higher than him. Those scalps included Jack Lisowski, the world No. 25, and Ricky Walden, the world No. 40. Surety's conqueror Ding will go on to face either former world champion Luca Brecel or world No. 36 Ryan Day in the last 16, before a potential encounter with second seed Shaun Murphy in the last eight.
