More About Us
 

Dear Reader,


The year 2010 has been a key transition year for Prima.


After 10 years of existence, Prima enriched its product offering, historically centered around a software toolset targeting "Buy and Build" oriented insurance organizations, with a complete set of packaged business applications, in order to serve "Buy" oriented insurance organizations: 

  • Prima Re, which manages ceded reinsurance contracts, was released as a product in September 2010 and as a service in December 2010; 
  • Prima Insure, a componentized web-based end-to-end policy administration system covering life and non-life products, was acquired in November 2010 through the acquisition of the software vendor Albiran.

This past year was also when the company made its first foray in emerging markets, with two new customers in Morocco and Tunisia. Last but not least the company regained its independence in June when its individual shareholders purchased all the Prima stocks owned by IBM.


The year 2011 starts on a strong footing, with all the right ingredients for robust growth: Prima is ideally positioned as a one-stop shop for insurance software, with a very strong customer base and a unique global presence.


I would like to give a special thanks to all Prima's (including Albiran's) customers, who have been very trustful and without whom such a rapid transition would have not been possible in 2010.


Please accept my Best Wishes for the New Year!


Sincerely
 
Hugues Delannoy
