The transaction, which closed on September 20th, accelerates Prima’s expansion into the Life and Health insurance market which is still largely using legacy technologies.

Hugues Delannoy, Chairman of Prima Solutions, said: "This acquisition provides a unique opportunity to accelerate our growth strategy and gain scale both in France and internationally. The transaction offers immediate synergies and reinforces our plan to diversify our product offering to take advantage of the fast growing demand in the Life and Health insurance segment for a modern scalable platform.”

Pascal Gosset, Founding President of ICOD Inc., added: "Having already worked closely together with Prima on several occasions, our shared vision has led us to join forces to position ourselves as one of the strategic technology providers in the Property and Casualty and the Life and Health insurance markets. The combination of both organizations will allow clients continue to benefit from the same high level of quality service and expertise while also gaining access to increased product offerings through a single software provider".
