Applied Systems to acquire Indio Technologies

Applied Systems announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Indio Technologies to enable the company to provide customers a collaborative and automated data capture experience, increasing the velocity of the insurance application and renewal lifecycle while lowering costs and reducing the risk of errors and omissions. The combined company will deliver tight integration between Indio’s solution and Applied Epic, creating significant productivity and speed advantages for agents and brokers.

“In commercial lines today, the process for agencies and insurers to collect and receive data throughout the submission process is often very manual and disparate, creating friction, cost and lost sales opportunities. Applied’s investment in Indio is a major statement of our commitment to automating the commercial lines submission process and enabling agencies, brokers, insurers and insureds to engage with each other and exchange data needed in the sales process more efficiently.” – Taylor Rhodes, CEO at Applied Systems.

The collaborative data capture experience for new business and renewals will also accelerate insurer connectivity in the commercial lines submission process. IVANS, a division of Applied, will leverage Indio to expand its leading data exchange capabilities to connect agencies and brokers to insurers, and to automate information exchange throughout the submission process, minimizing friction and creating greater value for each stakeholder.

“Indio was founded on the belief that technology can make insurance processes faster and simpler while keeping customer experience as the number one priority for an agency. This acquisition provides our customers and employees with access to new innovation, resources and scale to further transform agencies’ and brokers’ daily workflows and accelerate business growth.” – Michael Furlong, chief executive officer and co-founder of Indio.
