Marlborough, Mass. – November 14, 2011 – Blue Cod Technologies, Inc., the leading managed insurance services provider for the property and casualty (P&C) industry, today announced that Forrester Research, Inc. included the company in its “Emerging Technology Vendors That Insurance Enterprise Architects (EAs) Should Watch in 2012” report. Published on October 25, 2011, the report details the evolved insurance business environment, the related challenges and how Blue Cod and 10 other innovative vendors are providing the technology that enables carriers to remain viable in an increasingly competitive market.

According to the report, written by senior analyst Ellen Carney, “Insurance enterprise architects are embracing their role in aligning technology and business strategies. In 2011, that alignment is even more important as insurers see markets firming as a result of catastrophic claims losses, new technology such as machine to machine (M2M), surprising competitors…and changing demographics that mean consumers now expect insurance experiences that offer the wow factor of Amazon.com or Apple. This report provides insurance enterprise architects with an overview of 11 business technology vendors that address the business drivers and challenges of one or more insurance business capabilities.”

“Blue Cod has a multifaceted view of the insurance market as a result of managing the IT and business operations for our clients,” said Bob Bruce, president and CEO, Blue Cod Technologies, Inc.  “This unique perspective enables us to spot meaningful trends and provide our customers with the market intelligence, resources and innovation needed to successfully compete with larger carriers. The recognition in Forrester’s research as an emerging vendor is a great honor as it validates our efforts to bring state-of-the-art technology and services to the small-to-medium-sized insurance market.”

The research positioning Blue Cod as an emerging technology vendor falls on the heels of the company being named to the Inc. 5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. While the research validates Blue Cod’s ability to deliver technology and services that help clients deal with growing business pressures while the award recognizes the company’s continued and healthy growth. Combined, the report inclusion and award further establish Blue Cod’s position as a leading provider of managed insurance services.
