Sentro is now Microsoft IP Co-Sell ready! Sentro and the global Microsoft insurtech sales team can directly collaborate to offer Sentro to Microsoft customers.
"Sentro is a great cloud-native policy admin solution, and ideal for mid-market group insurers" says Rob Ellis, Sentro CEO. "Insurers usually use a range of Microsoft products and services, so they already have relationships with Microsoft sales representatives. Now these Microsoft sales reps can directly collaborate to offer Sentro as a group policy administration and customer servicing solution for their insurance customers. Sentro and Microsoft solve the common challenges faced by group insurers worldwide. We are delighted that we can now collaborate directly with Microsoft to show insurers how they can transform their group business with Sentro and Microsoft."
"Sentro and Microsoft solve the common challenges faced by group insurers worldwide" - Rob Ellis, Sentro
Microsoft have a worldwide team of insurtech specialists, who assist insurers worldwide with modernizing their technology and moving to scalable, secure Microsoft Azure cloud computing.
Global opportunities, common challenges
Group insurers worldwide are facing common challenges, says Sentro co-founder Hans Frauenlob. "Almost every group insurer we meet has challenges around things like renewal processing, offering online experiences to insured members, quoting and onboarding new group customers, and easily making small tweaks to their core group offering to suit different customers."
"Mid-market insurers really see the benefits in working with Microsoft and Sentro to deal with these challenges. It lets them differentiate against the major multinational insurers. Mid-market insurers usually have smaller in-house IT and operations teams, and they don't want to write and maintain software applications themselves. They would much rather work with solution partners like Sentro and Microsoft on the application and infrastructure side, while they focus on data, analytics, and engaging with their customers and partners."
Microsoft Azure - global scale and security
Sentro is cloud-native on Microsoft Azure. The global Azure platform gives Sentro customers the benefits of global reach, scalability and security. Sentro can be deployed single-tenant or multi-tenant, and can be deployed anywhere in Azure's worldwide network of datacenters. This allows compliance with virtually any local regulations regarding data sovereignty.
Microsoft customers may already be managing their own secure Azure instance for their own computing needs. Sentro can also be deployed into these customer-managed instances.
The Azure platform also provides superior integration options with the broader suite of Microsoft applications like Office 365, Power Platform, Business Central and Teams.
