Atlas will handle claims management and reporting, business intelligence, underwriting, policy administration, rating and billing for Palomar Specialty. It will provide data analytics and qualitative underwriting in real time, reduce operational costs and boost speed to market for unique product sets. Palomar Specialty will use Atlas to grow its business in earthquake-prone areas.

“After an extensive search, we selected PCMS because of their modern, all-in-one comprehensive system, upfront and inclusive pricing model and proven track record of successful and quick implementations,” says Mac Armstrong, founder and CEO at Palomar Specialty, in a statement. “Atlas’ agile and flexible platform will allow us to be responsive to market needs, especially those of our distribution partners, while providing a platform for growth as we expand.”
