Deploy is Akur8’s rating engine, the final step in Akur8’s end to end vision - where all steps of pricing, from initial data analysis, to modeling, to ratemaking are streamlined in one modern, powerful and efficient software.

As a key pillar of our product suite, it shapes how insurers bridge the gap between two critical functions

The IT side - concentrated on maintaining and productionalizing reliable systems.

These two sides - with different skillset and perspectives - currently involve inefficient processes and handoffs, which Deploy aims to solve to provide a synergy and alignment which increases speed to market.

Solving these challenges involves gaining a deep understanding of both IT and Actuaries differing objectives, particularly how to organize and map the complex ecosystem that hides behind an insurance product and its pricing.
