Insurance leaders offer advice on improving insurance technology

Stelvio general manager Yannick Giguère told IB that it is crucial to become intrinsically aware of the challenges facing insurance companies and their customers and then take considered, strategic steps towards developing solutions that address these challenges.

“Building innovative and original solutions that can be gradually implemented into a business can help organisations achieve greater flexibility and agility, without creating additional challenges through rapid change management processes,” Giguère said.

Daniel Lukich, sales and strategic relationship manager at AAMC, said the insurance industry must address three key factors: cost, quality, and timeliness. He emphasised that technology within insurance claims must make the organisation easier to engage with.

“We would also advise insurers to partner with claims tech specialists rather than embark on costly in-house development,” Lukich continued.

Meanwhile, Appsure managing director Mark Hutson recommended that insurers focus on solving problems for customers.

“That is the key to Appsure’s success and a central focus for the team,” he said. “Appsure is designed to provide flexibility in operation so that we can assist customers in a way that works best for them.”
