Open GI

What Is Open GI?

Open GI is an insurance software platform for policy lifecycle management. The platform brings policy administration for personal and commercial lines into one place, so teams can manage quotes, mid-term adjustments, and renewals without switching between systems. The software also includes AI-powered virtual assistants that take on repetitive tasks like policy queries, which frees staff to focus on work that actually needs their attention. It suits growing brokerages that want to scale without proportionally growing their headcount.

What Is Open GI Best For?

Open GI is best known for its Insurer Hosted Pricing capability, built for insurers, MGAs, and brokers. It is particularly known for its cloud-based Ratings and IHP Plus platforms, which allow organizations with delegated authority to build, price, and monitor their own insurance schemes in real time. The software is a strong fit for those managing delegated authority arrangements or transitioning away from fragmented pricing tools.

Open GI pricing is generally estimated to range from $8,000 to $60,000/month based on typical costs seen in insurance core administration systems. This range is meant to give a general sense of budget expectations.

Open GI Use Cases

Based on our analysis of Open GI’s current capabilities, we have identified key scenarios where this software is a good fit for insurance organizations managing policy administration, pricing, and distribution workflows:

MGAs Managing Delegated Authority Schemes

MGAs operating under delegated authority arrangements manage multiple insurance schemes while keeping pricing, underwriting decisions, and insurer requirements in check. When scheme updates depend on external input or slow approval cycles, that pressure builds fast. Open GI may suit MGAs dealing with this. Its Insurer Hosted Pricing capability gives teams direct control over product rules and pricing logic, with near real-time visibility into scheme performance.

Brokers Transitioning Away From Legacy Administration Systems

Brokers running older or fragmented policy administration systems tend to deal with disconnected workflows, manual processing, and poor visibility at the policy level. Open GI may be relevant for brokerages in this position, as its configurable policy administration environment can fit around existing workflows without a full system rebuild.

Insurance Businesses Distributing Products Through Price Comparison Sites

Personal lines brokers in competitive markets depend on aggregator channels to get quotes out and win new business. Inconsistent connectivity may affect quote speed and pricing accuracy where it matters most. Open GI may suit organizations here as it connects to major UK price comparison platforms and supports quote distribution through multiple channels from a single system.

Brokers Looking To Reduce Operational Workload Through Customer Self-Service

Brokerages handling large policy volumes dedicate a lot of staff time to routine tasks such as mid-term adjustments, renewals, and policy queries. That steady workload eats into capacity for more complex work. Open GI may be worth considering for brokers facing this issue. Its customer portal and virtual assistant tools allow policyholders to complete routine tasks on their own, which takes pressure off internal teams and helps keep customer support consistent.

Insurers And Brokers Managing Both Personal And Commercial Lines

Organizations managing both personal and commercial insurance lines run into real difficulty when each product type needs different workflows or processes. Open GI could help in these situations as it supports both lines within a single platform, so teams can handle high-volume personal policies and more complex commercial risks side by side.

Is Open GI Right For You?

If you manage delegated authority, multi-line portfolios, or high transaction volumes in the insurance sector, Open GI could be a strong fit. More than 600 customers in the UK use the platform for policy administration and real-time pricing. The software has 45 years of industry history behind it and is built for regulated environments. With audit trails, role-based access controls, secure data handling, and FCA-aligned workflows, Open GI supports compliance and operational governance.
