Akur8, the leading Global Actuarial AI Platform, announced today that it has joined the Verisk Strategic Alliance (VSA) partner network and is now licensed to support customer-imported Verisk’s ISO Electronic Rating Content^TM (ISO ERC^TM)  for use with Akur8’s rating engine, Deploy. This collaboration with Verisk, a leading strategic data analytics and technology partner to the global insurance industry, reflects Akur8’s broader commitment to supporting insurers that rely on licensed ISO rating content as they modernize rating workflows and implementation.

ISO ERC provides insurers with electronic access to rating content, including advisory loss costs, rules, and forms information. It plays an important role in helping insurers manage rating-related content with greater consistency. By joining the Verisk Strategic Alliance partner network, Akur8 is strengthening its ability to support insurers that rely on licensed ISO ERC content, while establishing a foundation for Akur8 Deploy users to incorporate that content into their rating workflows.

By helping connect licensed rating content with a modern deployment environment, this collaboration is designed to support faster go-to-market timelines for insurers, bringing products and rate changes into production. It can help reduce reliance on manual, error-prone implementation work across teams, while creating a stronger foundation for more sophisticated and maintainable rating structures.

More broadly, this announcement reflects Akur8’s continued investment in the infrastructure insurers need to support modern rating operations. As insurers look to reduce complexity across systems and teams, alliances like this help establish the operational framework needed to support modern rating operations.

Troy Smith, Vice President, Ratings Solutions, Verisk, commented “Modernizing rating is not just a technology upgrade; it is an operating model shift. At Verisk, we offer a comprehensive suite of rating solutions to support insurers at every stage of the rating lifecycle, including ISO ERC for implementation validation and quality assurance. Backed by Verisk’s trusted insurance data, industry expertise, and decades of experience supporting insurers, we are committed to helping solution providers and insurers more effectively implement ISO content within modern rating environments, enabling organizations to improve governance, reduce implementation risk, accelerate time to market and adapt more efficiently to change.”

Samuel Falmagne, CEO at Akur8, added “This collaboration with Verisk reflects our commitment to providing insurers with the infrastructure they need for modern ISO-based rating operations. By joining the Verisk Strategic Alliance partner network, Akur8 strengthens its ability to support insurers that rely on licensed ISO ERC content as part of their broader rating operations.”
