Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Aligned Business (also referred to as AlignedBiz) is a digital insurance technology provider that supplies software and implementation expertise to insurers, brokers and agency network operators undertaking digital transitions. Its flagship product, Origami, is a digital insurance platform that lets product underwriters configure and digitize insurance products for sales automation without custom IT coding, with the company citing launch timelines such as a travel insurance product in a few days, an SME commercial insurance product in a week and a professional indemnity product in two weeks.

The Origami suite is described as a set of connected applications covering central product administration for white labelling, central policy administration and reporting for policy lifecycle servicing and business management, an intermediary sales platform for multi-product sales and sales activity management, and a customer portal/app for policy management and upsell/cross-sell. The company positions the platform as usable across multiple distribution channels and digital devices, and as a foundation for IoT, AI and blockchain add-ons as well as usage-based insurance and connected home insurance products.

Alongside packaged solutions, Aligned Business offers consulting-style expertise in insurance product management, underwriting and pricing logic, distribution, P&L, insurance system design and development, and large technology project management, including helping clients build their own digital insurance platforms.

Business model

Aligned Business sells enterprise digital insurance software together with implementation and advisory expertise. Origami is offered either as a packaged end-to-end insurance solution or as separate digital capability components, including lighter front-end sales platforms layered on top of clients' legacy systems; the company also markets an approach that avoids heavy upfront system investment for clients switching to digital insurance operations.

Traction

Reported milestones include a major UK-based insurer going live on the AlignedBiz platform in September 2013, enabling its brokers to transact Regiment Group A&H insurance with a first successful transaction processed; the Origami v1 Alpha release in October 2013; the establishment of a Singapore development centre in November 2013 to support an increasing customer base; the Origami v1 Beta release in January 2014; and selection by a major US insurer in February 2014 to develop its strategic e-commerce platform for the accident and health business line.

Latest developments

In 2018 the company's news page highlighted an article describing Aligned Business as a sales automation solutions provider for insurers looking to tap unexplored markets, quoting Susan He on the company's vision, and referenced the MetLife Digital Accelerator cohort in Cary, which gathered ten companies selected from locations including Singapore, London and Washington, D.C.
