Micromobility & Insurance

May 21, 2019

There are many things changing within the transportation landscape but what’s really been taking center stage is micromobility. Micromobility refers to the use of small manually or electrically powered vehicles used to travel short distances. Bicycles and e-bicycles are probably the most common examples of micromobility but other examples include electric cars and all sorts of scooters. Micromobility arose out of something known as the first mile/last mile problem. This refers to the main issue that has the potential to plague even cities with the best public transportation systems. Not everyone is able to live or work within walking distance of a transit station and so many cities suffer from parking problems, traffic congestion, and excessive auto emissions.

How different views on digital transformation impact customer experience

whitePaper | September 20, 2022

When it comes to major events that impact people, economies and environments, insurance is firmly on the frontline. In the last few years, the industry — traditionally slow to modernise — has been reinventing strategies and working models to meet the demands of the changing global landscape, from the pandemic to economic and political instability. Acceleration of digital transformation has become a priority because it directly impacts current strategic imperatives — customer focus, operational simplification, financial sustainability and innovation. But despite the drive for change, the same challenges that have historically held back insurance providers are yet to be overcome. Legacy systems, data and processes can be difficult and expensive to modernise, and bringing in new technologies to solve these issues can create more problems when they are layered on top of the old.
