On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Roi Agababa, CEO of Novidea. From brokers and agents to MGAs and corporate risk management operations. Novidea is setting new standards in how insurance professionals leverage technology for growth, efficiency, and compliance.

On this episode the pair dig deep into the workings of Novidea's platform to look at how it navigates the maze of challenges that insurance professionals encounter daily, what role does plays in enhancing the distribution journey and the customer experience, and how it adapts to various levels of digital readiness while ensuring data security and compliance.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I started my path in technology in software development, mostly around data and metadata analysis. When we started Novidea we looked for an industry which is flooded with data and has data technology requirements and gap. This is how we came up with the idea to focus on insurance and insurance distribution market specifically.
• We have one platform that can serve multiple geographies, compliance and regulations to offer insurance companies that operate globally one consistent technology stack rather than a fragmented one.
• Novidea is a platform that covers everything in one technology stack. What we offer to our customers to increase operational efficiencies is around automation and business process management across all 3 pillars in one streamlined process.
• There are layers and protocols that Novidea has implemented for data segregation between multiple legal entities that use the platform. We have all the governance and controls in place to safeguard that information.
