Strategic workshop in Lisbon brings together leadership from three continents to scale a decade-long partnership into six new markets
InsureMO and NTT DATA leadership at the 2026 Global Partnership Kickoff, Lisbon
LISBON, PORTUGAL — InsureMO and NTT DATA are taking a partnership model that has already transformed how insurers operate in Japan and scaling it across Latin America. This week, the two companies convened senior leadership from three continents in Lisbon for a strategic workshop focused on one objective: accelerating insurance modernization in Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Chile, and Ecuador.
The expansion comes at a time when Latin American insurers are under increasing pressure to modernize legacy core systems — but lack a clear path to do so without disrupting existing operations. InsureMO’s open, modular platform gives them that path. NTT DATA, as implementation partner, brings the regional expertise and delivery capability to execute it.
The model is not theoretical. In Japan, where the partnership originated over a decade ago, InsureMO and NTT DATA have jointly delivered more than 10 major transformations — spanning insurers, telecommunications companies, credit card administrators, and approximately 30 regional banks. The Lisbon workshop was designed to codify that playbook and adapt it for Latin American markets.
“We don’t believe any single company can transform the insurance industry alone. That’s why we built InsureMO as a foundation that implementation partners can build on and take to market with confidence. NTT DATA has done exactly that in Japan for over a decade. Now we’re making that same model available to insurers across Latin America who are ready to modernize but need a path that doesn’t require ripping out what they have.”
— Rajat Sharma, Chief Revenue Officer, InsureMO
Under the expanded partnership, NTT DATA will serve as the primary implementer and systems integrator for InsureMO’s platform across Latin America, helping insurers modernize core operations through AI and emerging technologies. The agreement also includes joint development of products tailored to regional market demands.
“The transformation of the insurance sector is no longer an option — it has become a strategic necessity. Global collaboration plays a central role in this process, acting as the main driver of innovation and industry evolution. This initiative reinforces what we believe: the most impactful transformations happen when teams from different regions of the world align their vision, share experiences, and work in a coordinated way toward a common goal. We have a strong track record of successful implementations with InsureMO, and this global strategic meeting allows us to strengthen synergies, explore new business opportunities, and expand our market impact.”
— Brenda Calderón, Head of Core Insurance LATAM, NTT DATA
