“The acquisition of Modgic is an exciting step as Zywave continues to consolidate the insurtech marketplace and expand its footprint, both in the U.S. and internationally,” Zywave CEO Jason Liu said in a release. “By combining the best aspects of the two solutions together, we look forward to bringing a superior product to our shared customers.”

Zywave will incorporate Modgic’s streamlined reporting and analysis features into its own analytics cloud platform and its existing modification analysis tool, called ModMaster.

“We are thrilled about the opportunity to work with a successful, established player in the industry to further enhance our solutions and bring a truly unsurpassed, robust offering to the marketplace,” Modgic CEO Scott Knowles said in a release.
