15 May 2024: Non-standard property insurance specialists, Ceta Insurance, part of the Atec Group, has gone live on the IS2 Atlas Platform following a significant investment by Ceta to re-platform its system.
The move gives Ceta self-sufficiency with the ability to distribute products across multiple channels and control its customer journeys and pricing. The project has been delivered by digital platform and distribution solutions provider IS2 and the in-house development team at Ceta. The partnership encompasses a 5-year contract, which followed a six month tender process that included extensive due diligence.
IS2 has implemented a modern, API first, cloud native platform for Ceta, a back-office PAS system and a number of customer retail journeys, both direct and aggregator based. Ceta now has full control of its customer journeys and pricing. Ceta Insurance is a long established data-driven, tech-enabled business, using automation where it counts to distribute direct to customers and wholesale via insurance brokers.

With IS2’s Atlas platform at the centre of the solution, Ceta Insurance has the capability to distribute products across multiple channels. With its five-star heritage and stellar client list that comes from continual R&D investment in the platform, IS2 is a trusted partner that continues to deliver innovative digital solutions to its clients.
Commenting on the deal, Brendan Devine, CEO at Atec Group said: “We selected IS2 because it has a strong track record and their ongoing investment in R&D is clear. It was also critical that we chose a provider that would future proof our business and keep up with our ambition. Needless to say, our tender process for this project was thorough. We are delighted to have selected IS2 – they have a pedigree that gives us and our stakeholders complete confidence. Ceta’s investment in its products, systems, data analytics, distribution partnerships and compliance mean we are in a great position for continued high growth across all operating areas.”
Commenting on the win, Simon Pritchard, Managing Director at IS2 said: “We are very proud to be working with a customer with the stature of Ceta, it further endorses the belief we have in our Atlas platform to meet the needs of digital first organisations who seek assurances in the quality and design of the underlying technology.
