The multitude of disruptive forces in the business environment today is compelling organizations to embrace digital transformation at an accelerated pace. And in the quest to infuse enterprise-wide resilience in the post-pandemic era, business leaders are increasingly realizing the value associated with a digitally connected ecosystem. The future of the insurance industry too lies in digitally connected enterprises that enable seamless interaction across stakeholders, viz. customers, producers (agents), and employees. To be able to deliver a top-notch customer experience and reinvent offerings, insurance providers must overcome three hurdles:
- Lack of contextual engagement
- Pervasive information silos
- Inordinately high IT dependency
These bottlenecks inadvertently lead to higher turnaround time for customer service, delayed claims processing, mishandling of complaints, error-prone underwriting, growing operational costs, and dwindling customer loyalty.
Preparing for the Future with Digital-first
Insurance companies need to accelerate digital adoption, find creative ways to optimize all business areas and embrace the extended enterprise. Application of digital capabilities to products and processes not only addresses the existing business challenges mentioned above but also identifies new opportunities with effective risk management and efficient operations. Embracing a digital-centric approach with tools like AI, intelligent content services, and contextual automation of business processes can optimize every facet of insurance operation with speed and accuracy.
Newgen Is the Digital Partner of Choice for Insurance Providers
Newgen is a trusted technology partner for global insurance companies, with our platforms consistently recognized by leading industry analysts. They have been enabling insurance carriers across geographies to foster innovation and strategize their journey in a cohesive and sustainable manner. Newgen’s product suites are well-equipped to address two critical factors for the insurance industry: “speed of implementation” and “configurable applications.”
Recently a leading health insurance provider developed and launched a core health insurance system using Newgen’s digital transformation platform with low code capability. They were able to deliver on the customer’s expectations within eight months of expressing the need, even though most of their teams were working remotely due to the pandemic. The application has hundreds of screens, tens of processes, complex business rules, integrations, and adheres to security and compliance requirements. Traditionally, similar application development projects would have taken 2.5-4X the time and resources entailing massive code development, debugging, bug fixes, and back and forth. Their low code development methodology and its suitability for rapid application development and deployment perfectly suited this innovative case.
Newgen’s applications can be leveraged to overcome digital transformation challenges, drive continuous process improvement, optimize strategic insurance processes, and re-align core operations to keep up with the changing market dynamics. Our purpose-built applications drive end-to-end automation, deliver contextual content services, and provide omni-channel customer engagement for increased agility and a delightful customer journey.”- Anurag Shah, Head of Solutions Engineering, Newgen.
