Summary
The acquired business will operate as Apis Technologies, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Paperclip. The structure is designed to preserve Apis' established identity, customer relationships, and specialized capabilities while giving the subsidiary access to Paperclip's resources, technology platform, and insurance-industry relationships. Apis provides technology-enabled services spanning insurance-industry websites and portals, a connectivity network linking most leading insurance technology platforms, hosting and security, custom application development, marketing, and AI consulting.
Ron Alexander, Chief Executive Officer of Paperclip, said the acquisition represents an important step in the company's evolution into a broader, connected insurance technology platform. Peri Lane, founder and CEO of Apis Productions, will continue to lead day-to-day operations as President of Apis Technologies. Lane said the combination would allow the companies to deliver greater value while preserving the responsiveness and industry focus customers expect.
Paperclip said customer continuity is a central priority, and it will continue supporting existing Apis customers, projects, products, and service commitments. No immediate change to the Apis operating model is planned. Integration will occur in stages, beginning with customer and employee continuity, knowledge transfer, and operational alignment, followed by identifying opportunities to bring the combined solutions to a broader market. The companies serve many of the same participants across the insurance ecosystem, including carriers, distributors, BGAs, IMOs, producers, and solution providers, and the combination is intended to reduce fragmentation across data, systems, and workflows.
