Acturis named one of top two UK cloud companies

Acturis has been named as one of the top two UK cloud companies in a list of 20 independent cloud computing businesses, released by advisory firm Clearwater Corporate Finance.

The list, dubbed Cloudex 20:20, was compiled based on criteria including innovation, the amount of income derived from the cloud, customer base, turnover and profit growth.

Acturis runs a ‘software as service’ concept that means customers access the software online rather than having to install it on servers in their own offices. Acturis says this makes it easier for branches of the same company to share information and for the software to be updated.

Acturis co-chief executive Theo Duchen said: “Acturis has won many industry awards in the past, but this award is different, it is a recognition of the SaaS deployment model that Acturis pioneered in the UK insurance industry. Initially sceptical, the industry has come to embrace the concept because of the huge benefits it provides over more traditional deployment models.”
