Vertafore Canada is a leader in the Canadian Insurance industry, offering solutions for Brokers. We are proudly Canadian, supported by our parent company Vertafore, the leader in modern insurance technology.
Our history dates as far back as 1876 with a company called Melvil Dewey who invented the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system, the classification system that still bears his name, when he was twenty-one and was working as a student assistant in the library of Amherst College. His work created a revolution in library science and set in motion a new era of librarianship. Melvil Dewey well deserves the title of father of modern librarianship selling what is now known as Broker Management Systems (BMS). In 2000, the Melvil Dewey company had gone through a series of acquisition with CGI being the latest owner. Vertafore Canada purchased the BMS division from CGI in 2000.
Today, Vertafore Canada is a Canadian leader in Broker Management Solutions, delivering custom-made, reliable, and functional solutions that meet the needs of Canadian Brokers.
Vertafore Canada has offices in Montreal and Concord, with remote offices located throughout Canada, allowing for a local presence and support for our Canadian Brokers.
