What consumers expect from future banks and insurers’ that was released in eight languages and sold more than 100,000 copies. The sequel‘Reinventing Customer Engagement: The next level of digital transformation for banks and insurers’ was launched in March 2017."
We'll be looking at engagement innovation next.
Quite a few insurers face combined ratios that are close to 100, or even exceed that number. Digitalizing current processes are absolutely necessary, for operational excellence and to cut costs. The digital transformation of insurance carriers started in 2015, really took off in 2016, and will be mainstream by 2017 and beyond. Virtually every insurer, big or small, that takes itself seriously will continue to look for ways to operate more efficiently in every major part of the costs column: in claims expenses, costs of operations and customer acquisition costs. Technology purchases and investments by insurance carriers will further explode in these areas, as will the number and growth of InsurTechs that cater to that need.
