Zywave stems from the business unit of a large Midwest insurance firm who pioneered the first software-as-a-service, or SaaS, insurance claims data tool. SaaS was barely an emerging concept in 1992, but the tool was highly successful. In 1995, the business unit went independent and the newly formed Zywave began offering insurance brokers first-to-market, mission-critical software rooted in industry expertise.

With deep industry insight, Zywave’s focus on providing clients innovative ways to differentiate and grow their business evolved into insurance broker marketing communications, agency automation, client portal and data analytics technology tools that continue to set the industry standard. In 2010, Zywave acquired Specific Software Solutions to offer clients workers’ comp mod analysis as a point of competitive differentiation. In 2011, Zywave acquired EISI. With its shared entrepreneurial heritage and customer-centric philosophy, EISI’s complementary financial needs analysis and planning tools combined with insurance broker tools provide firms strategic solutions for differentiation and success in today’s market.
