Duck Creek Technologies, a provider of software to the property and casualty insurance industry, announced the expansion of its global platform strategy and support for insurance companies operating in international markets.
Building on its commitment to helping operators scale globally, Duck Creek has enhanced its multi-country architecture and announced a strategic investment to support the London market, including plans to seek Lloyds Market accreditation.
As the world’s leading specialist and multinational risk market, the London market relies on complex collaboration between brokers, syndicates and carriers, extensive data exchange and tight operational controls.
Duck Creek is investing in features designed to support this ecosystem and plans to seek market accreditation from Lloyd’s.
Complementing these efforts is the continued expansion of Duck Creek’s Multi-Country Layer (MCL) hierarchy design.
MCL, currently available for Duck Creek Policies, Billing, Claims and Clarity and extending to digital solutions, is designed as a foundational capability to enable insurers to manage global and regional operations through a unified framework.

Hardeep Gulati, CEO of Duck Creek, said: “Duck Creek has long been a leader in core insurance technology, helping insurers modernize policy administration, streamline operations and adapt faster to changing market demands. Our investment in our London market capabilities extends this leadership to one of the most complex specialty insurance ecosystems in the world.”
“By extending Duck Creek’s intelligent core systems to support London market operations and connectivity requirements, we enable insurers to more effectively manage the entire policy lifecycle, increase operational agility and build on the investments, partnerships and market infrastructure they already rely on.”
Duck Creek is focused on simplifying international insurance operations by reducing complexity and increasing lifecycle efficiencies.
By combining cloud-native technology and agent intelligence, the company enables operators to scale globally while remaining responsive to local market needs.
“Global growth is no longer just about entering new markets; it’s about speed, consistency and control,” said Jose Lazares, chief product officer at Duck Creek. “Duck Creek’s multi-country layer provides insurers with a reusable operating model that scales across regions while adapting to local market needs. Our investment in London market capabilities strengthens this foundation, bringing Duck Creek to Leadership in specialty policy underwriting extends to one of the world’s most complex insurance ecosystems.

MCL Hierarchy provides a flexible and structured approach to managing multi-country configurations, allowing insurers to: Reuse components across geographies to avoid duplication of setups; Reduce implementation time with pre-configured, out-of-the-box structures; and Accelerate entry into new markets while maintaining governance and consistency.
