The insurance industry is rapidly evolving, fueled by tech advances and shifting customer expectations. Investing in a single solution is no longer enough. To stay relevant and keep innovating, companies need strong partnerships and a commitment to constant improvement. That’s why Innovation Group, a major player in the insurtech market, joined forces with N-iX, a tech consulting and software development firm, to supercharge their insurtech software development practices and extend their global digital reach. 

How N-iX’s partnership with Innovation Group was established

For more than 20 years, Innovation Group has set new standards in claims management and insurance solutions. Serving insurers, brokers, fleet managers, and car manufacturers, they handle millions of claims each year with exceptional efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Together, we worked on multiple modernization projects, including a major rework of the Gateway platform. Let’s follow along our path:

Communication: Laying the foundation for a successful partnership

Central to N-iX’s collaboration with Innovation Group is a governance model that prioritizes communication at every stage. From the very start, both companies made sure their teams stayed in sync, with daily updates between engineers and quarterly strategy sessions among executives. This cohesive communication allowed N-iX to align its technical solutions seamlessly with the Innovation Group’s goals. 

N-IX builds real partnerships

One of N-iX’s main challenges was to upgrade and expand the Gateway platform, which handles repair management for insurance claims. Within just two weeks, N-iX put together a dedicated team of specialists to kick off the project. A crucial aspect of this partnership was the creation of direct feedback channels with the Innovation Group’s leadership, allowing for quick problem-solving and a lively environment that encouraged innovation.

N-iX establishes transparent communication and strategic alignment

For over two decades, N-iX has served as a strategic technology partner for many fintech companies, building a deep well of industry expertise. When assembling the team for Innovation Group, N-iX focused on hiring not just skilled software engineers but also experts with deep knowledge of the industry. This approach ensured that everyone had a clear understanding of the project's requirements and the complexities of financial technology.

Excellence: Evolving collaboration with technology-driven solutions

During the project, N-iX engineers identified several ways to enhance the company's workflow and architecture. The two most significant recommendations were the adoption of new cloud capabilities, which improved scalability and efficiency, and the integration of GitHub Copilot, an AI-powered coding assistant that accelerated development and reduced errors. These changes aimed to streamline processes and boost overall productivity.

The Innovation Group wanted to stand at the forefront of new technology. Their culture of constant improvement and N-iX’s dedication created a truly inspiring environment. What began as a simple team extension has evolved into a full-fledged managed services partnership. In this new stage, N-iX will take complete ownership of technical deliverables while maintaining close coordination with Innovation Group’s product managers and aligning with their business goals.
