Open GI says online boom signals a positive outlook for the market.

Open GI has reported an increase in the number of brokers contracting for its eCommerce solutions on the basis of growing online opportunities.

The software giant said non-standard motor insurance specialist Right Choice Insurance Brokers, based in Essex, is one of the latest start up brokers to have implemented the Open GI platform.

Right Choice started trading with Open GI in February of this year having reviewed other systems on the market. 60% of the company’s business is now traded online via their website, which was built and fully hosted by Open GI.

Simon Hughes, sales and marketing director, Open GI, said: “Our market-leading portfolio of ecommerce solutions is generating huge interest amongst our existing broker clients and demand from new clients has accelerated enormously.

"The increasing number of start ups shows that real opportunities exist for entrepreneurial enterprise in the broker market and the internet sits at the heart of this."
