Expansion plan puts data-forward approach to work for independent agents

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Nov. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , a growing provider of homeowners insurance, is delivering a modern, simplified customer experience powered by advanced technology and data from (Nasdaq: VRSK), a leading global data analytics provider.

With Verisk’s LightSpeed® for Homeowners platform, Openly is amplifying their data-forward strategy that optimizes the ordering of rating and underwriting information in real time and helps independent agents deliver innovative products and service to homeowners. Openly is leveraging LightSpeed to support its efforts to enhance the quoting process for independent agents, refine underlying models and continue its profitable growth into new states.

“With Verisk, the Openly team found an abundance of broad, new and actionable underwriting and rating data to help us drive automation and refine segmentation in risk assessment and pricing,” said Ty Harris, chief executive officer and co-founder of Openly. “These solutions help us build upon a solid and substantial foundation, enhancing our ability to bring tailored coverage options to homeowners across the United States.”
