Novarica’s newest report reviews developments and barriers to adoption, along with implications for customer experience
Boston, MA (June 23, 2016) – Insurers’ maturity in digital and data analytics capabilities are starting to outpace their core systems, and maturity levels across the industry vary dramatically, especially between larger and smaller insurers, according to a new capabilities benchmarking study of more than 80 insurers published today by research and strategic advisory firm Novarica.
The Novarica New Normal 100: Digital, Data, and Core Capabilities for Insurers was published separately for property/casualty and life/annuity insurers.
Some of the other findings from the reports include:
- Digital and data capabilities are more advanced than core, reflecting both the priorities to deliver and the relative complexity of deploying new capabilities.
- Large P/C insurers are investing in digital and data in marketing and distribution, the areas where they currently lag, having invested heavily in underwriting and claims.
- Midsize life insurers lack several digital distribution capabilities that are deployed by nearly a third of larger companies.
Each report includes more than 50 figures analyzing deployment rates of 100 technology-enabled business capabilities that represent the “new normal” for insurers. These capabilities span product, marketing, distribution, underwriting, customer engagement, billing, claims, and finance/operations functions as well as digital, data and analytics, and core technology areas. The reports also provide a benchmarking tool for insurers to determine their own maturity levels.
Novarica will be presenting the findings from these studies in a webinar on July 20 at 1 PM EST. Interested participants can register here.
