Novarica’s 3rd annual study reveals areas poised for growth
Boston, MA (Jan. 7, 2016) – Although insurers continue to struggle with legacy systems, many are also deploying newer technologies. According to the 3rd annual emerging technology report by research and advisory firm Novarica, more than half of insurers have deployed some cloud-based systems, and the number using big data technologies has doubled since 2014.
Novarica’s latest report, ‘Hot Topics’ for Insurers: Social, Mobile, Analytics, Big Data, Cloud, and Digital, is based on a survey of more than 100 insurer CIOs, and tracks deployments in six key technology areas: social, mobile, analytics, big data, cloud, and digital.
“These six are often lumped together as ’emerging technology areas’ by insurers, although they share little else in common,” said Matthew Josefowicz, President and CEO of Novarica. “They cross consumer media and communications (social), technology platforms (mobile and cloud), tools (analytics some parts of big data), and strategy (digital). But they all enable potentially disruptive changes in insurance value chain.”
