Practice and client management

If carriers don't refine their company for a new era, they can't operate as efficiently and profitably as is possible.

Amelia platform from IPsoft has been involved in more than 3 million customer conversations since September.

Carriers are looking to see a return from tech investments quicker with external players eyeing the market, says Capgemini.

Bradley Bodell has also worked at MetLife in various technology roles.

Infosys partnership will help the life insurer realize customer service and data mastery goals, says CEO Brooks Tingle.

Technology platform uses third-party data to reduce the amount of input required of agents.

Carriers must compete on insights from consumer information, not just the convenience of digital-app services.

The insurer embeds new technologies, such as AI and IoT, into its organization on an ad-hoc basis, rather than developing products separately in a lab and force-fitting them.

Carriers cite the speed of product development in these programs and the ease of access to dozens of startups in one location as major benefits of these relationships.

Priorities are notably centered around the insurance agent for growth as well as investments in AI and data analytics.

Many are using graph database technology to provide the necessary relationship mapping, combined with master data management, data federation and artificial intelligence.
