SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK—June 29, 2021 – EIS, a core and digital platform provider for insurers, today announced a growth investment of more than $100 million from TPG, a global alternative asset firm.

“We are excited to partner with TPG as we continue to bring our best-in-class, cloud-native suite of technology solutions to insurers across the globe,” said Alec Miloslavsky, Founder and CEO of EIS. “The team at TPG is aligned with our ambitious growth strategy and their longstanding track record, industry relationships, and deep expertise make them an ideal partner for EIS as we propel our business forward. The investment will help us to continue to meet growing client demand as insurers transition from outdated ‘modern legacy’ systems toward a platform that provides the flexibility, speed, openness, and security that today’s highly competitive market requires.”
