Global professional services firm Aon has announced a new application programming interface (API) integration between Aon Broker Copilot and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, the commercial insurance arm of the Swiss Re Group, making the carrier the first to integrate directly with Aon Broker Copilot through an API connection.
The integration is expected to enable end-to-end digital connectivity across the placement lifecycle and transform how complex risk is submitted, quoted, and bound, delivering a “faster, more responsive” client experience.
Aon noted that this development reflects its continued investment in the digital and analytics ecosystem, building on its 3×3 Plan and $1.3 billion investment in technology and talent.
“These capabilities, including Aon Broker Copilot and Aon Claims Copilot, alongside Aon’s suite of Risk Analyzers and diagnostic tools, embed insight into broking workflows to support more informed decisions and more consistent execution across the risk lifecycle,” the global professional services said.
Aon explained that its investment in API connectivity, alongside broader data, analytics and technology initiatives across the client value chain, is enabling more efficient access to capital and driving improved client outcomes.
“For carriers such as Swiss Re, the integration provides direct access to Aon’s distribution network and drives significant improvements in underwriting performance and efficiency across the market cycle through structured risk submissions,” the firm added.
Clyde Bernstein, global lead of Aon Broker Copilot, commented, “Developing new ways to connect risk to capital is a key component in reimagining broking and creating lasting value for our clients and the market.
“By connecting Aon Broker Copilot directly to Swiss Re Corporate Solutions’ underwriting application, we allow risk data to flow more seamlessly between the two firms, improving operational efficiency, lowering costs, enhancing accuracy and accelerating insurer response times.”
Nina Arquint, CEO UK & Ireland at Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, said, “This initiative reflects Swiss Re Corporate Solutions’ commitment to making commercial insurance placements faster, simpler and more precise for our clients and partners.
“By connecting our state-of-the-art data platform with Aon Broker Copilot, we can seamlessly integrate structured data into our workflows, reducing manual touchpoints and improving speed, transparency and consistency across the placement process.
“This first implementation marks an important milestone in our digitalisation journey, helping us deliver an enhanced client experience while creating the foundation for greater scalability in the future.”
