Xigem Technologies to Enhance Cloud-based Technology Platform for Insurance Supermarket Inc.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 23, 2021) - Xigem Technologies Corporation (CSE: XIGM) (FSE: 2C1) ("Xigem" or the "Company"), a technology provider for the emerging remote economy, today announced that it has signed a letter of intent ("LOI") to enhance its iAgent cloud-based software platform for Insurance Supermarket Inc. ("ISI"). Xigem will work with ISI to further position its insurance technology ("insurtech") initiatives in the fast-evolving North American insurance market.

Estimates show that the nearly US$3 billion global insurtech market size is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 48.8% from 2021 to 2028. The increasing need to digitize and simplify the vast array of insurance services accounts for much of the acceleration in the market.^[1]

"Like most financial sectors, the insurance market is clearly undergoing a shift to service the rapidly emerging digital remote economy," said Brian Kalish, co-founder and CEO of Xigem Technologies. "ISI has been a leader in simplifying the process of delivering an assortment of insurance products and has been on the forefront of the insurtech revolution with its original development of iAgent. We look forward to working with the ISI team to further enhance iAgent to be a considerable part of their digital strategy."

Originally developed by ISI and now exclusively licensed to Xigem, iAgent is a U.S. patented and Canadian patent pending cloud-based technology that will provide organizations with the infrastructure necessary to manage employees, assets and operations remotely. iAgent can be tailored for businesses to enable them to remotely track and manage assets, transactions, fulfilment and service cycles while seamlessly integrating with most CRM and ERP systems to profitably optimize the consumer, treatment seeker and learning experience.

"Our strategy is based on leapfrogging traditional insurance companies with innovative product offerings and delivery models that directly respond to the needs of today's consumers," said Charles Nastaskin, Chief Technology Innovation Officer, Insurance Supermarket Inc. "New technologies like the enhanced iAgent platform are key to executing on this vision."

Pursuant to the LOI, once the custom development work is successfully completed, Xigem will license the iAgent platform to ISI on a Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") basis for a recurring monthly licensing fee.

Insurance Supermarket Inc. is a life insurance provider specializing in providing simple and effective life insurance options to Americans from all walks of life. With plans that are designed to be easy, fast and affordable, ISI is opening up more convenient ways that Americans can find coverage.
