In a period of slow industry growth, increased pressure for profitability translates into a hard look at both expense reduction and top-line revenue growth. Insurers recognize that in order to respond to these pressures, they need to continue to evolve, and in some cases revolutionize, the practices, processes, and technology on which they have historically relied. Policy Management solutions are at the heart of a company’s processing environment and are inexorably linked to the need for this evolution.
Key areas of focus that are providing the catalyst for change in the business include:
Rapid Product Updates. Growth is dependent on where agents place business and agents cite product selection as key in their choice of carrier.
Changing Roles with the Distribution Channel. Technology is changing the distribution channel and the roles played within it. Companies continue to push more responsibility for processing into the agent’s office, reducing cost and increasing satisfaction and effectiveness. As processing demands increase upon the agents, companies need to continue to improve the ease of use of their distributed solutions.
Straight-through Processing. By implementing rules engines and decisions systems, companies are increasing the processing of new business and renewals without human review.
Integration of Market Available Data. Utilization of the increasing abundance of data allows companies to make better, more informed decisions while decreasing manual processing effort in-house and in the field.
Processing Efficiency. Better user interfaces, more robust functionality, greater work management and processing capability enable employees to be more effective.
Better Inheritability. Having a strong policy solution is a big step but the solution needs to have the capability to easily integrate with other current and future solutions and data sources.
