The SAGELink system is also part of a broader suite of solutions offered by Lockton Re’s SAGE platform. The reinsurance broker highlighted the platform as a reflection of its commitment to a “Born Digital” approach, focusing on leveraging advanced technology to optimize decision-making and provide deeper insights.

The partnership with Ariel Re aligns with this emphasis on using cutting-edge technology to enhance efficiency and value across the business.
