Published

on

Acquisition marks another significant milestone for Arrow Global Insurance, reinforcing its leadership in specialty insurance markets where disciplined underwriting is critical

LONDON, July 9, 2026 /CNW/ — Arrow Global Group (“Arrow”), a leading pan-European alternative investment manager, today announces a significant milestone for Arrow Global Insurance (“AGI”) through the acquisition1 of Fusion Specialty Group (“Fusion”), a specialist managing general agent (“MGA”).

AGI is an established specialty insurance platform providing institutional investors with access to specialty, non-catastrophe insurance markets by combining Arrow-backed MGAs, rated risk-bearing capacity and Arrow’s investment capabilities. Supported by long-term institutional capital, AGI targets attractive underwriting performance in markets characterised by high barriers to entry, fragmented competition and technical complexity.

The acquisition further enhances AGI’s platform by adding another high-quality specialist MGA with a well-established underwriting track record. Through Halldora Re Ltd² (“Halldora Re”), AGI’s A- (Excellent) AM Best-rated reinsurer, and the broader Arrow platform, Arrow’s MGAs benefit from access to long-term underwriting capacity, institutional capital and scalable operating infrastructure, enabling them to grow responsibly while maintaining underwriting discipline.

Operating on behalf of leading London market, European and other specialty insurers, Fusion has established a highly regarded underwriting franchise serving policyholders across the UK, Europe, North America and other international markets. Since launch, Fusion has processed more than 23,000 submissions and written approximately £290m of gross written premium for approximately 1,500 policyholders, with premium volume more than doubling over the past two years.

Zach Lewy, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Arrow Global Group, said: “Arrow Global Insurance is an established specialty insurance platform that combines exceptional underwriting businesses with institutional capital. The addition of Fusion, a high-quality specialist MGA with an outstanding underwriting track record, further strengthens that platform and expands the range of differentiated specialty insurance opportunities available to our institutional investors.”

Katie Simmonds, Chief Executive Officer of Fusion Specialty Group, said: “Access to additional underwriting capacity through Halldora Re, together with Arrow’s long-term investment approach, provides a strong foundation for our next phase of growth while allowing us to remain focused on the underwriting discipline and client service that define Fusion.”

David Rogers, Founder and Executive Chairman of Fusion Specialty Group, said: “Building Fusion into a global specialist MGA has been a genuine privilege. Arrow shares our commitment to underwriting discipline and long-term thinking, and its backing, including the reinsurance capacity behind Halldora Re, accelerates our growth and potential. I’m pleased to remain involved and excited for what comes next.”

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. All required regulatory approvals have been obtained and completion is expected during the third quarter of 2026.

Notes to editors:

1: Acquisition will be funded by (i) capital initially generated from shares issued by Sherwood Topco Limited and (ii) from funds managed by Arrow Global Group. Given the majority ownership, Fusion will be a subsidiary of Sherwood Topco Limited but will not be a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sherwood Parentco Limited.

2: Entity is owned by funds managed by Arrow Global Group.

Dayton Children’s Hospital goes live with Sectra’s ophthalmology solution to unify imaging across specialties

Published

on

By

LINKÖPING, Sweden, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT B) announces that Dayton Children’s Hospital is now live with Sectra’s ophthalmology solution, extending the hospital’s enterprise imaging platform beyond radiology. By consolidating imaging from multiple modalities and specialties into one system, clinicians can review and compare each patient’s history in a single place, supporting more thorough clinical assessment of complex pediatric cases.

“Having all our ophthalmology imaging in one place makes it much easier for clinicians to review and compare a patient’s history. And when a case spans multiple specialties, as in oncology where a child may have both radiology and ophthalmology findings, they can access everything in a single session without switching between systems. That kind of visibility matters when you are making decisions about a child’s care,” says Dr. Abiodun Omoloja, CMIO at Dayton Children’s Hospital.

Ophthalmology departments typically work with images from a range of camera types, which are often stored across separate systems or on the imaging equipment itself. Integrating Sectra’s ophthalmology solution into its existing enterprise imaging platform gives clinicians at Dayton Children’s Hospital a single point of access to all of a patient’s ophthalmology imaging, regardless of which camera captured it.

Dayton Children’s Hospital is a pediatric acute care teaching hospital serving infants, children, teens, and young adults throughout western Ohio and surrounding states. By adding the ophthalmology module to its existing Sectra One deployment, clinicians gain access to ophthalmology imaging directly within the platform already used for radiology. When clinically relevant, they can view studies from both specialties side by side, giving a more complete picture of each patient’s imaging history. By standardizing on Sectra’s enterprise imaging platform, the hospital’s IT department benefits from a single, unified system to manage, improving operational efficiency and reducing administrative complexity.

“Dayton Children’s Hospital is a strong example of how a trusted foundation can grow over time. Starting with radiology and now adding ophthalmology, they are building an imaging environment where each specialty reinforces the next, and where clinical teams can work from a shared picture of the patient. That is the kind of long-term value we aim to build together with our customers,” says Isaac Zaworski, President of Sectra Inc.

Following a two and a half-year contract, Dayton Children’s Hospital went live with Sectra’s ophthalmology solution in Sectra’s 2025/2026 fiscal year, with an expected annual volume of 2.000 ophthalmology exams.

Sectra’s enterprise imaging solution provides a unified strategy for all imaging needs while lowering operational costs. The scalable and modular solution, with a VNA at its core, allows healthcare providers to grow from ology to ology and from enterprise to enterprise.

Unit4 launches “AI for Your World”, a commitment-free initiative for the mid-market

Published

on

By

LONDON, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Unit4, a leader in enterprise cloud applications for people-centric organisations, today announced that new and existing Unit4 ERP customers can trial its AI capabilities built for their service-centric industries, commitment-free, if they register before December 2026. Unit4 intends to empower the mid-market to harness AI for innovation, reduction of manual, repetitive tasks, improve decision-making and build tangible business use cases for AI, giving time back for work that matters most. At the end of the initiative on 31st August 2027, customers can either move to a subscription for Unit4’s AI capabilities or stop using the technology, but Unit4 believes ongoing experimentation is crucial to fulfill AI’s potential for the mid-market.

As part of “AI for Your World,” customers will have access to its Advanced Virtual Agent (Ava) which responds to natural language requests through tools such as Microsoft Teams, bringing tasks to users and providing guidance and insights without the need to switch applications. The AI capabilities will work across the whole Unit4 ERPx platform, covering finance, HR and people, procurement and project management processes. Customers will have full access to Unit4’s AI tools with a generous fair use cap, set high enough to enable everyday use without exceeding the limit, meaning there are no surprise costs. To use these AI capabilities with no commitment to buy a subscription, new and existing customers must sign up before 31st December 2026 and can stop using it at any time before the deadline of 31st August 2027.

“The mid-market has always been an engine of growth for economies around the world, and we want to help build a new generation of AI-enabled mid-market champions,” said Simon Paris, CEO, Unit4. “The “AI for Your World” initiative underlines our commitment to helping our customers experiment with AI functionality without concerns about contractual obligations. We believe this commitment-free approach will be a trigger to accelerate innovation and productivity, giving teams time back for the work that matters most.”

The Unit4 approach to AI is built around four principles:

Designed for your world: Most ERP systems record what has happened. ERPx understands what it means because of its 40 years of industry context which is built into its foundations, not bolted on. That’s what makes it a system of reason: customers go live faster on pre-built vertical workflows and get an ERP that reasons from the meaning up, not one they must configure from scratch.You stay in control: Governance is built into the architecture, not bolted on afterwards. Every action stays inside your rules, enforced by a policy, threshold and delegation engine, as well being attributable to a named human and fully reconstructible. This makes audits painless, while data is protected through tenant isolation, data residency and no public-LLM training.It gets smarter over time: ERPx learns the more it is involved in tasks, so every cycle (engagement, grant, term, payroll) feeds the model, per-tenant and in-jurisdiction. Ava orchestrates agents across finance, projects and people for one co-ordinated view and vertical pattern recognition ensures problems surface early.Built for what’s next: AI is constantly evolving, which is why Unit4 has designed its approach to be model agnostic. The business context layer sits apart from any single model, so new capabilities plug in instead of forcing a rebuild, while the control plane absorbs new regulators and governance frameworks.

“AI will only be effective for mid-market organisations if it is embedded in an intelligent core that is fluent in the language of our customers’ industries,” added Claus Jepsen, CTO, Unit4. “They have a head start using our AI with ERPx because it has been designed with their needs in mind. It becomes smarter the more involved it gets in work, ensuring institutional memory lives in the system and accelerates productivity. It is auditable and data is protected so our customers can be confident of compliance with regulatory frameworks, and it is model-agnostic to avoid lock-in to one LLM approach.”
