RiskMatch will operate as a separate business unit within Vertafore. Its web-based platform enables underwriters to enhance performance, reduce costs, facilitate growth, and improve their client service capabilities, the companies said. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"We are thrilled to join Vertafore [helping] brokers and carriers effectively mine big data to better understand and more quickly respond to the changing needs of their customers," said RiskMatch CEO and Founder Kabir Syed, in a statement.
