Duck Creek-Focused Insurtech Firm Gains Six New Customers in Six Months

LEXINGTON, S.C. - Aug. 26, 2021 - PRLog -- Yovant, Inc., implementer of Duck Creek Technologies, has experienced rapid growth in 2021. Launching engagements with six customers in six months, Yovant's success is due in part to attracting experienced practitioners wanting to work with a company focused on the Duck Creek platform.

"Yovant is uniquely qualified to maximize Duck Creek investment and minimize customization," explains CEO Sam McGuckin. "Our early growth has been amazing. We have received nearly 200 inquiries from professionals who want to further enhance their Duck Creek skills and advance their careers. In today's climate we see more demand than qualified professionals to meet it. We are thrilled to be recognized as a firm that can help these practitioners meet their professional goals."

Because Yovant was founded by well-known industry executives, it is no surprise that experienced technicians are attracted to the firm. It is also no surprise that insurers aiming to implement the industry-leading technology want to work a team that is knowledgeable and experienced with the platform. Paul Manning, who was the lead executive responsible for designing and building the Duck Creek billing system during his tenure as chief architect with Duck Creek, has been on the front lines since co-founding Yovant. Manning states, "What I hear from customers and prospective customers is that they need to implement the system in the fastest, most effective way possible. That's why they choose to work with Yovant. They are familiar with the work we [Manning, McGuckin, and partner Prabir Panda] have done throughout our careers and our decades of exclusive focus on this technology. They know our engineers and architects are deeply knowledgeable about the platform. And with the rapid changes that result from digitalization and modernization, insurers face the imperative of maximizing their IT investments to gain competitive advantages and sustain long-term viability."

Yovant employee Jessica Kearse works with customers and understands these objectives. Kearse is a highly-sought-after professional with deep Duck Creek experience. "I chose to work with Yovant although I had opportunities with multiple insurance solution providers," states Kearse. "I began my insurtech career working with and implementing this platform. I have worked with Sam, Prabir and Paul in the past and no one in insurtech knows this technology and how to maximize its use better than these guys and the team they have put together thus far. I mean, Paul Manning built the system! And Sam and Prabir built a very successful company focused on it, which I was fortunate to be a part of," says Kearse.  More at https://www.yovant.com
