Cape Town, South Africa, 21 November 2024 – Root Platform (Root), the low-code, API-first, end-to-end insurance technology platform provider, today announces the launch of its groundbreaking Technical Certification Programme. This initiative is designed to directly empower product teams, equipping them with the skills and resources to autonomously create innovative insurance products using Root's cutting-edge platform.
The programme's core focus is to upskill clients and partners into Root Certified teams, fostering a collaborative community where best practices are shared and refined. By participating, product teams will gain a deep understanding of Root's platform, enabling them to leverage its low-code environment and API-first architecture to rapidly prototype, build, and deploy tailored insurance solutions.
"Our Certification Programme is a strategic investment in both our customers and the future of the insurance industry," said Charlotte Koep, CEO at Root. "By empowering product teams within our insurance clients and partners, we are not only accelerating innovation but also driving self-sufficiency, giving them the tools to own their product development process and respond to market demands with agility."
The programme will guide participants through a streamlined onboarding and certification process, culminating in their recognition as Root Certified. This certification signifies a mastery of the Root platform and opens doors to a wealth of opportunities for clients and partners to innovate in self-help.
Lourens Pelser, Business Operations at Root, emphasised the programme's transformative potential: "This programme represents a paradigm shift for insurance product development. Product teams will gain the expertise to design and launch products independently, driving efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ultimately, delivering better insurance experiences to customers.
The Root Certification Programme is poised to reshape the insurance technology landscape by fostering a new generation of skilled professionals who are not only equipped to harness the power of Root's platform to its fullest potential, but also become an integral element of supporting innovative product development and speed to market at their insurance business.”
