Akur8 helps insurance companies price risk more effectively with a cloud-based AI pricing platform. It automates the creation of production-ready statistical models called GAMs and GLMs using its own algorithms. Pricing teams can access these models through a SaaS API, plug the system into their data sources, and apply machine learning and analytics to forecast costs more accurately. Unlike many AI tools, Akur8 keeps models transparent, auditable, and editable, which supports compliance and gives customers control over their pricing logic. This makes it faster and easier for insurers to build predictive pricing models and improve profitability. In short, Akur8 enables faster, more accurate pricing decisions that help optimize the combined ratio and loss ratio.

Akur8 launches Guidewire Marketplace Accelerator for Deploy, its modern external rating engine.

Akur8 launches Guidewire Marketplace Accelerator for Deploy, its modern external rating engine. New partner New York, NY August 11, 2026 Akur8, the global actuarial AI platform, announced today the launch of its new Akur8 Deploy Rating Accelerator on Guidewire Marketplace. Built for Guidewire PolicyCenter customers, the extension connects PolicyCenter and Deploy, Akur8's modern external rating engine, cutting integration timelines from months to weeks. By delivering a metadata-driven mapping and transformation layer between PolicyCenter and Deploy's rating API, the extension for Deploy reduces the custom integration effort required to connect PolicyCenter and Deploy's rating API. Insurers using the extension can compress that integration phase into a matter of weeks while enabling real-time rating within native PolicyCenter quote workflows. For actuarial and pricing teams, the extension enables greater control over the rating lifecycle. Once live, actuarial teams can update rating logic, push new rates, and launch revised products directly in Akur8 Deploy, without requiring IT tickets or PolicyCenter redeployment. This reduces reliance on policy administration system release cycles and helps insurers bring rate changes to market faster. Key capabilities include: * Faster implementation through pre-built mappings between PolicyCenter and Akur8 Deploy * Real-time rating within PolicyCenter quote workflows, returning itemized rating factors and premium breakdowns without disrupting the native Guidewire user experience * Supports both online quote-time rating calls from PolicyCenter and off-line batch re-rating use cases * Reduced integration risk through standardized transformation logic, validation scripts, and Guidewire-aligned delivery guidance * Greater actuarial control over rating updates, testing, and deployment from model to policy The extension for Deploy is available now to new and existing Akur8 customers and is supported by Akur8's dedicated delivery team. For more information, visit akur8.com or contact your Akur8 account team. Management comments. Samuel Falmagne, CEO, Akur8 "The Guidewire ecosystem is a critical pathway to market for P&C carriers, and this extension reflects our long-term commitment to meeting insurers where they already operate. Deploy was built to give actuarial teams greater autonomy over the rating process. By prebuilding the integration between Guidewire PolicyCenter and Deploy, we are making that autonomy accessible to a much broader set of carriers. This is about more than technical efficiency; it is about what pricing teams can achieve on their own, without depending on IT." Wade Mansoori, Head of Solution Delivery, Akur8 "External rating engine integrations have historically required months of custom middleware development, with actuarial, IT, and system integrator teams coordinating just to connect the rating engine with PolicyCenter. With this extension, that work is packaged into a repeatable, standards-aligned delivery framework. Carriers benefit from a tested mapping specification, validated QA scripts, and a sprint structure that aligns with Guidewire implementation standards. The result is a dramatically shorter path from contract to live rating." About akur8. Akur8's Global Actuarial AI Platform is transforming the insurance industry with an innovative suite of actuarial solutions. Built on cutting-edge technology and actuarial excellence, Akur8 delivers speed, performance, transparency, and reliability for insurers of all sizes across Property and Casualty (P&C) and Life and Annuity (L&A) markets.

Akur8 joins Verisk Alliance network. Akur8's rating engine will support customer-imported ISO Electronic Rating Content for insurers using licensed Verisk rating material. Anthony R.

Strategic Alliance partner network and is licensed to support customer-imported Verisk ISO Electronic Rating Content for use with Akur8's Deploy rating engine. Akur8's official site lists Paris as its global headquarters, while Verisk lists its corporate headquarters in Jersey City. ISO Electronic Rating Content, or ISO ERC, gives insurers electronic access to rating content, including advisory loss costs, rules and forms information. Akur8 says joining the Verisk Strategic Alliance network strengthens its ability to support insurers that rely on licensed ISO ERC content in rating workflows. "Modernizing rating is not just a technology upgrade; it is an operating model shift," comments Troy Smith, VP, Ratings Solutions, Verisk. "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." Rating Workflow Support Akur8 says the relationship is intended to help insurers connect licensed rating content with a modern deployment environment. The company says the connection can support product and rate-change implementation and reduce manual work across rating teams. "This collaboration with Verisk reflects our commitment to providing insurers with the infrastructure they need for modern ISO-based rating operations," comments Samuel Falmagne, CEO, Akur8. "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."

Zimmermann said the move marks a key step in strengthening pricing governance, improving operational agility, and accelerating data-driven decision-making across the organisation.
