Insurance companies are adopting technological solutions to automate and increase the accuracy of the underwriting process, support variable pricing, help maximize the efficacy of scarce underwriting resources and increase direct sales. But is this enough?
Operational excellence behind the scenes makes an essential contribution to the quality of customer experience. You cannot have one without the other.
Of course it goes further. Fall behind in the quality of operations, and the costs will soon be seen on the bottom line.
It’s time to ask how to eliminate dependence on all low-value, high-volume manual processes. This isn’t just about liberating staff to do real business – it’s about reducing error and the risks that go with it.
By digitizing manual processes and paper documents, insurers can increase efficiency and agility while reducing cost by up to 40%
Operational Excellence in Insurance
Digital technologies now drive operational excellence across the insurance industry, making insurers more focused and responsive while containing risk and cost.
There is no questioning the digital contribution to operational excellence – so long as the change involved doesn’t itself raise risk and discontinuity and brings in more agility. Atos starts with five focus areas.
