AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Socotra, the modern core platform provider for innovative insurers, today announced that Socotra App MarketPlace—currently offering access to 30 app publishers—is now available to Socotra customers. Those customers can now eliminate lengthy and rigid integration projects and add new features and services in minutes.

Built on Socotra’s cloud-native and API-driven platform, the App MarketPlace empowers insurers to instantly connect to a wide array of apps that improve every aspect of the insurance value chain, including data providers and platforms, rating, document management, payment processing, claims user interfaces, customer communications, esignatures, and third-party app publishers.
“There is no debate. From the iPhone to the Chrome Browser to AWS to Roku, app marketplaces are the best engine for software innovation,” said Dan Woods, Founder and CEO, Socotra. “Socotra App MarketPlace is an industry breakthrough. Insurers can finally connect multiple platforms just by clicking to install apps, and it works—instantly. This means faster product launches and lower maintenance costs. Today marks the very beginning of the rapid-connection age in insurance IT.”
"Today's consumer expects their purchase to be digital, painless, and built around them. When it comes to insurance, we still have a long way to go," said Joanna Raitano, Head of Stripe Partner Ecosystem, Americas.
