Atain Insurance Companies Select Oceanwide’s Bridge Insurance Software Suite

MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oceanwide, an Insurity company and developer of industry-leading, configurable, SaaS based insurance software, today announced that Atain Insurance Companies (Atain), surplus lines carriers headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan, has selected Oceanwide’s Bridge Insurance Software Suite and Insurity’s Claims Decisions to support its commercial package, commercial property, and commercial general liability lines of business. Atain will be using Bridge’s portal, policy administration, rating, billing, document generation, and reporting modules.

Atain conducted an extensive search to replace a legacy system that was not meeting its functionality or technology needs.

“We are proud to be working with such a respected insurer and support their continued growth,” said Mitchell Wasserman, Chief Executive Officer, Oceanwide. “We look forward to a long relationship with Atain.”

“Atain is excited about partnering with one of the leading IT companies in the insurance space,” said Wayne A. Bates, President, Atain Insurance Companies. “This investment is a key part of our strategy to continually improve the experience and efficiencies for our broker and agent partners.”
