The NLS Story

It began with an idea

As industry veterans, founders Chris Sawyer and Michael Smith had experienced the constraints of working with an offshore-centric business model. Though from different vantage points, both understood the challenges that such a model presented and saw a need for a different approach and the benefits it would provide to property and casualty businesses. Although they shared similar ideas, neither Chris or Michael had ever met and it would be nearly another year before their paths would cross at a chance business engagement.

April 2018 - Taking That Idea to the Next Level

Chris was working with a client who was looking for a change from working with offshore companies. Michael, who worked for Duck Creek SI, was one of the integrators bidding on that work. Through this interaction, Chris saw that Michael was an industry leader in Duck Creek experience and his expertise was exactly what he was looking for and needed to take the idea to the next level. After several conversations between Michael and Chris, it was clear they both recognized what the industry was missing. There was a void in the market that needed to be filled with an onshore owned and operated Duck Creek implementation partner.

Jul 2018 - From an idea came a solution

On July 16th, 2018 with an enthusiastic customer in hand Next Level Solutions was formed.

Feb 2019 - Building a Solid Foundation

Our Springfield, Missouri, office was established along with a nearshore presence in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and a satellite location in Portland, Maine.

2021 - A Foundation of Success

Over the next two years, NLS would experience significant success with our newly founded business model. Next Level Solutions started making waves in the industry and quickly became known as the premier choice for quality Duck Creek work. Along the way, two additional offices were added in Columbia, South Carolina, and the first international office in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, which was added as part of NLS’ acquisition of The America’s Group Technologies.

Training

Next Level Solutions has a deep-rooted commitment to providing on-going training to our resources.  It’s actually one of our core principles, and why we put so much effort into our Intern programs and associations like Girls Who Code. Our newly onboarded internal resources receive anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks of equipping and training so when it comes time to be placed on a project, they can hit the ground running instead of being unprepared or surprised.   Recognizing that training transcends beyond our internal staff, we are pleased to offer Next Level Academy, our Collaborative Learning Culture, offering hands on training to our clients on the Duck Creek platform.  We tailor our Duck Skills 101 course to the client, using the client’s LOB and product requirements to get their resources project-ready and Duck-capable.
