Launch Programs Faster. Run Them With More Control.
ALIS DX gives program administrators a connected platform to launch, manage, and scale specialty insurance programs with greater control and less dependence on IT.
Keep Your Programs Moving
Launching a specialty program is only the beginning. As the business evolves, you may need to add states, adjust underwriting requirements, change forms, update validation rules, or respond to new carrier requirements.
When every change requires custom development or a vendor request, opportunities can turn into delays.
For program administrators, the right technology should help you get to market faster and make it easier to keep adapting once the program is live.
ALIS DX changes that.
ALIS DX is Dyad’s purpose-built platform for specialty insurance distribution, giving program administrators more direct control over program configuration while connecting underwriting, policy administration, accounting, reporting, and other core operations in one system.
With ALIS DX, your team can make routine changes faster, operate with greater consistency, and grow programs without adding unnecessary technology complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a program administration platform?
A program administration platform supports the technology and operational workflows behind specialty insurance programs. It can bring together underwriting, rating, quoting, policy issuance, servicing, accounting, reporting, workflow automation, and other processes required to administer a program. For program administrators, having these functions connected is especially important because the program continues to change after launch. New states, carrier requirements, forms, underwriting rules, and other changes need to be incorporated without disrupting day-to-day operations. ALIS DX is designed specifically for specialty insurance distribution and supports program administrators, MGAs, and wholesalers on one connected platform.
What is the difference between an MGA platform and a retail agency management system?
A retail AMS is designed for independent agencies distributing standard admitted products. An MGA platform is built for the complexity of delegated authority – managing multiple carriers and programs simultaneously, applying underwriting referral rules and appetite controls, bordereaux reporting, handling surplus lines tax filings across jurisdictions, and providing program-level accounting and compliance tools. MGAs that try to run program business on a retail AMS consistently hit ceiling limitations in workflow depth, reporting granularity, and program configurability. ALIS DX is built exclusively for delegated authority operations, not adapted from a retail-agency system.
What can program administrators configure themselves in ALIS DX?
ALIS DX includes self-service capabilities that allow authorized users to configure User Defined Fields, Self-Managed Risk Templates, Validation Rules, and Forms Rules. These tools let teams tailor data collection, risk information, business validations, and dynamic forms handling around their programs without requiring developer involvement for every routine change. That can reduce development bottlenecks while giving program teams greater control over how their workflows operate.
Does ALIS DX support more than policy administration?
Yes. ALIS DX is designed as an end-to-end operating platform rather than a standalone policy administration system. The platform supports the full policy lifecycle, including submission and underwriting workflows, rating and quoting, binding and issuance, endorsements and renewals, accounting, claims capabilities, document management, workflow automation, compliance, reporting, and integrations. Bringing these functions together helps reduce the handoffs and disconnected data that can occur when a program depends on multiple point solutions.
How does ALIS DX support carrier oversight and program reporting?
Program administrators operate with delegated authority, making reliable processes, controls, and reporting important to carrier relationships.
ALIS DX provides role-based authority controls, auditable workflows, program-level reporting, and structured operational data. Because policy activity and other program information live within the same connected platform, teams have a stronger foundation for monitoring performance and providing carriers with the information they require.
ALIS DX also supports bordereaux reporting based on policy transaction data and delegated-authority controls that can be configured by program.
Can ALIS DX support a company that operates as an MGA, wholesaler, and program administrator?
Yes. ALIS DX is designed to support multiple specialty insurance distribution models within the same platform. That matters for organizations whose businesses do not fit neatly into one category. An MGA or wholesaler may take on its first program, while an established program administrator may also operate MGA or wholesale lines of business. ALIS DX supports these different workflows on one platform, helping organizations expand into new distribution models without automatically introducing another core system or planning a future replatform.
How does intelligence fit into ALIS DX for program administrators?
Dyad’s approach is to apply automation and intelligence to specific insurance workflows where they can improve speed, consistency, and operational control. For program administrators, that starts with creating structured, well-governed operations. Self-service configuration, business rules, standardized data capture, and connected workflows create a stronger foundation for automation and for increasingly intelligent capabilities over time.
