Digital Transformation for the Insurance Industry

January 25, 2017

Today’s insurance industry is ripe for disruption. In fact, experts predict that the industry will experience more transformation in the next five years than it has in the past 50.This dramatic shift is driven by several factors:  Today’s customers expect the same capabilities and experiences they have when interacting with retailers, entertainment providers, the travel industry, and retail banks. They want to receive service anytime, anywhere, through any channel, on any device they choose. The new trend toward digitization is unleashing the power to transform insurance with easier, more cost-effective, and socially acceptable processes. This is made possible by the proliferation of mobile devices, which have become the new basis for business for the millennial generation and others. Non-traditional players are entering the insurance market, challenging the status quo and bringing innovation to an industry that has been historically slow to evolve.
