Sydney, Nov. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duck Creek Technologies (Nasdaq: DCT) announced today that it has further continued its investment in the Australian market, releasing several key software packages and setting up a regional product development team to cater to the needs of its current and future customers in the region. “Our sincere belief is that localization of our product and its ongoing support should be our responsibility, not something our systems integrator partners or customers should have to worry about,” said Shaji Sethu, Managing Director for Asia Pacific at Duck Creek Technologies. Duck Creek will now be the first significant platform provider to the Australian workers’ compensation market for years.
Ella Jurotte, Product Manager for Asia Pacific at Duck Creek Technologies, also said, “With the introduction of these packages and our continued investment in the local market, this is really only the beginning of Duck Creek Technologies’ commitment to delivering truly customer-centric solutions to a market ready to fully embrace the digital insurance experience. We understand that business users need easily adaptable, innovative, and intelligent insights and automation that enable them to focus their skills and time where it matters most – supporting customers during their time of need. The accelerated adoption of digital engagement that we’ve seen in the last two years requires systems that provide agility and flexibility like Duck Creek’s low-code, cloud-native OnDemand solution. By embracing our evergreen approach, insurers can be nimble in their products and services for what is a forever-evolving environment and respond to industry regulations and trends – or indeed be the trendsetters themselves.”
