About Paktolus
Paktolus builds, implements, and integrates technology for insurance organizations. That covers custom software development, platform implementation and configuration, systems integration, data engineering, and ongoing support. We work across the entire insurance ecosystem, including underwriting, claims, policy administration, billing, distribution, compliance, and financial reporting.
We work with carriers, MGAs and program administrators, mutual insurers, agencies and brokerages, wholesalers, and reinsurers.
Yes, Paktolus provides technology solutions across several industries. This part of our business is insurance specific and led by experts with a deep understanding of insurance and the insurance industry.
More than five hundred specialists across North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, headquartered in Miami. Every engagement is led by a dedicated US-based Client Success Manager, so wherever the delivery team sits, the person who knows your business is someone you can reach during your work day.
Yes. Paktolus is headquartered in Miami, Florida, with delivery capacity onshore, nearshore, and offshore depending on what a project requires, and a US-based Client Success Manager leading every engagement.
Working together
With a conversation, not a proposal. A brief meeting virtually or in person, where we ask how your organization runs today, where you see the biggest opportunity, or where the friction shows up, and what you have already tried. If there is an obvious first project we will name it. If we are not the right fit we will say so and point you somewhere better.
It is never too early. Helping organizations work out where the real opportunity is, is part of what we do. A first conversation is a discovery conversation rather than a pitch.
Most first engagements run weeks to a few months rather than years. Larger programs run longer, but they are delivered in phases with working deliverables at each checkpoint rather than one long build with a launch date at the end. If a scoping conversation suggests a longer timeline than you expected, you’ll know before you commit to anything.
We structure around defined scope and outcomes and we price after discovery rather than before it. Depending on what the work requires, that means a fixed-scope project, a phased program with milestone-based delivery, or an ongoing support and enhancement retainer. We will not quote before we understand your needs, because a proposal written without discovery is a guess with a number attached.
A dedicated US-based Client Success Manager leads every engagement and stays constant throughout. The delivery team is built around what the work needs and may sit onshore, nearshore, offshore or some combination of these. You will meet the people doing the work, not only the people who sold it.
Yes, and in most engagements that is exactly how it works. Your team knows your architecture, your constraints, and the history behind why things are built the way they are. We arrive already understanding how insurance systems are built and integrated, so you are not onboarding us to the industry, we are onboarding to your environment.
Your team owns and runs what we delivered. That is the goal of every engagement. Many clients also keep us on for ongoing support, enhancement, and managed services, either for the system we built or for the broader environment around it. Both are normal outcomes, and neither is a condition of the other.
Technology and delivery
Both, and the decision is part of discovery rather than something we bring in with us. A great deal of what insurers need is available in existing platforms and only needs configuring and proper integration. Some of it, particularly anything shaped by your appetite, your rules, or your data, may need to be built.
We work across the tooling our clients already run rather than a preferred stack. That commonly includes platforms like Guidewire, Duck Creek, Sapiens, agency management and rating systems, cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, data platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery, and the AI models and document tooling around them. It also includes older and homegrown systems.
Usually not, and we would often argue against it. Most of what insurers want from a new core can be delivered around the one they have: intake, rating, portals, reporting, and the data flow between them. When replacement genuinely is the right answer we implement and migrate too, but that should be a conclusion rather than a starting assumption.
In most cases, yes. Custom software we build for you is yours, and so is your data. Where an engagement involves third-party platforms or licensed components, ownership follows the licensing terms of those products, and we make that clear during scoping rather than after. Specific ownership and IP terms are set out in our client agreements. The principle we work to is simple: what we build for you should not become a reason you cannot leave.
Our focus is building, implementing, integrating, and supporting technology. There are operational services we do not provide at all: we are not a third-party administrator and do not handle claims on your behalf, we do not run bordereaux processing or premium accounting and billing operations, and we do not provide print, mail, and document fulfillment. Where clients have asked us to take on policy servicing or underwriting back-office support alongside the technology, we have. If you are not certain which side of that line your need falls on, ask early and we will tell you straight.
Security and compliance
Paktolus holds ISO 27001 certification for information security management, which means our security controls, data handling, and access practices are independently audited against an international standard rather than described in a policy document. We also hold ISO 9001 for quality management and CMMI Maturity Level 3 for process maturity. In practice we work within our clients’ security frameworks, follow their data handling and access requirements, and complete the security review process any regulated organization runs before onboarding a technology partner. Specific controls and data handling terms are covered during that review and in our client agreements, because they vary by engagement and by environment.
Yes, and it shapes how we build rather than being checked at the end. Statutory reporting, rate and form filing, market conduct exposure, licensing, and audit trails are all things we have built for. The most common failure we see is compliance retrofitted after a workflow is built, at which point the evidence an examiner would want was never captured. We design for it at the start, which costs very little and is difficult to add later.
