Insurance-focused AI solutions provider Gradient AI has partnered with Connexure, a provider of software-as-a-service solutions for self-funded plans, to streamline risk management workflows for carriers and managing general underwriters (MGUs). 

This collaboration merges Gradient AI’s Risk Management Life Cycle Solution with Connexure’s ESLoffice platform. 

ESLoffice is an integrated workflow management system designed to serve the unique needs of stop loss insurance carriers and underwriters. 

The integration aims to improve risk management functions and streamline processes for organisations, leading to better customer experiences. 

Gradient AI founder and CEO Stan Smith said: “We are excited to collaborate with Connexure to bring the joint power of seamless, end-to-end workflow and dynamic AI-driven predictive analytics and insights together to our customers. 

“We are bringing together proven technologies to solve one of the industry’s biggest challenges. The synergy between intelligent automation and predictive analytics positions us to drive real value and better outcomes.” 

Connexure initiated the partnership to elevate workflow automation by combining its “user-friendly” software with Gradient AI’s predictive analytics capabilities. 

This collaboration is expected to minimise operational challenges and boost overall efficiency by centralising data and insights. 

The partnership promises a more cohesive workflow for current users of both systems, facilitating quicker and more informed decisions. 

Connexure chief revenue officer Chris White said: “Our partnership with Gradient AI aligns seamlessly with our mission to unify the self-funded ecosystem through system interoperability. 

“The two organisations are uniquely positioned to drive better outcomes with the pairing of Connexure’s underwriting and administration workbench automation, with cutting-edge, AI-driven analytics from Gradient AI. 

“Based on feedback from our clients, it is clear that this partnership fills a big need in the market right now.” 

Earlier this year, Terra partnered with Gradient AI to enhance its workers’ compensation platform using predictive intelligence.   

The partnership leverages Terra’s cloud-native platform and Gradient AI’s advanced risk modelling capabilities to enable faster triage of cases.
