1、Fuel the future of insuranceFor insurance carriers,driving new sources of profitable growth with both cost and revenue contributions is a must.Increasing demand for real-time risk mitigation requires that insurers modernize their technology infrastructure.Meanwhile,the levers of cost reduction have
2、shifted towards digital solutions using AI and advanced data analytics,which help insurers achieve greater process efficiency and decision effectiveness in core industry functions.To better understand the challenges and benefits of transformation programs in insurance,we asked industry experts for t
3、heir perspectives.Our research included:A survey of 25 senior equity analysts from around the world on the cost transformation programs of P&C insurers.In-depth interviews with senior leaders from insurance organizations to illuminate emergent themes around their priorities and the real-world tensio

6、conversation with their insurance company.I think that is an unmet need.There is no carrier out there that I know that has that today.”3Uncertainty stemming from the COVID-19 crisis,geopolitical tensions,inflation,and extreme weather have increased demand for products and services that help customer
7、s mitigate risk and protect against loss.Customers are looking to insurers to provide usage-and behavior-based insurance that will adapt to their changing coverage needs.Such offerings range from fitness and wellness programs tied to life insurance or group and voluntary benefits to embedded insuran

9、 underwriting to policy servicing to claimswhen they mature their analytics capabilities across three levels:Descriptive analytics are routinely combined with automation solutions to underwrite risk and process claims.Such analytics are based on specific data attributes from the past and present,his
10、toric risk models,and current market conditions.Prescriptive analytics are how insurers start creating strategies to help the customer mitigate and manage risk.That requires large-scale,real-time optimization of customer data and the insurers product portfolio to present a contextualized real-time r
11、ecommendation in the moment.Predictive analytics allow insurers to look into the future and,using behavioral models,better understand how a customer is likely to respond to potential risks.As more customer data is fed into the model,the more complete the individual risk profile and more accurate the
12、 predictions become.Customers are looking for new solutions and real-time risk mitigation3124Cloud infrastructure enables the data formats and analytic speeds required for new,curated customer experiences.As insurers work with ecosystem partners,a cloud-enabled tech infrastructure can smooth the flo
13、w of data upstream and downstream in the formats and speeds required,enabling real-time access and insights,regardless of location.A usage or behavior-based insurance offer is only as good as the quality of data captured.By using new and better data in different ways,insurers can increase accuracy o
14、f risk selection/pricing and help customers better mitigate and manage risk.Cloud is the enablerData is the driverAN INSURERS PERSPECTIVE“Ultimately,weve got such a big tangled mess of technology that were sitting on top of,that its really hard to say,Lets just consider that a sunk cost and go forth
15、 and do something brand new and different.I think that prevents us from offering a more omni-channel experience.It prevents us from so much.”5Guardian Life is a strong example of gaining value from the cloud.They took the initiative to rethink their processes for a completely digital world and make
16、it easier to quickly respond to customer needs.Previously,a lengthy process was needed for Guardian to test and deploy a change to how a claim was executed,or to get data as part of an application.With the Accenture Life Insurance&Annuity Platform(ALIP),Guardian says the company can introduce a chan
17、ge on the fly and deploy it in production within hours.Now,theyre leveraging cloud beyond front-end customer service.Theyre also rethinking product development and how they can centralize it and free-up capacity to innovate new products and get them to market faster.Cloud platform improves time to m

22、ts say matters in the cost transformations of insurersSource:Accenture primary research based on a closed-ended survey of equity analysts.5 to 10 years agoToday8AI is becoming the investment of choice for insurers seeking solutions to address growing cost pressures.Insurance executives say they are
23、investing in data analytics and AI more than any other digital technology to achieve their cost reduction objectives over the next one to two years.i Two-thirds of claims executives say their organizations plan to invest more than$10 million in AI and machine learning over the next three years.iiAI
24、solutions are transforming the efficiency of claims in first notice of loss(FNOL)and admin supportpromoting speed to settlement and improved customer experiences.AI-led insurance transformation in claims,enabled by digital intake solutions,can improve claim handling by predicting claim complexity as
25、 early as FNOL,driving dynamic triage and assignment,and improving customer retention and loss adjustment expenses.Elevating AI to bring costs downA leading multiline insurer in Europe has created a virtual assistant to help customers experiencing a car breakdown or accident.The bot helps ensure a t
26、ow truck arrives,provides the customer with a replacement car,and answers questions.It handles more than three-quarters of customer conversations without human intervention and consistently achieves a world-class net promotor score of 70 or more.The software knows when to search for an answer in the
27、 knowledge database,when to book a taxi or rental car,when to ask for clarity,and when to direct the customer to a human agent.Virtual assistant provides both efficient help and improved customer experience 9In addition to improving process efficiency,AI can help humans make better decisions in the
28、core insurance functions of claims and underwriting.Enhancing decision effectiveness in claims and underwritingWith claims indemnity representing approximately 60 to 70 percent of the economics of P&C insurers,decision accuracy is the highest impact lever.AI-driven intelligent solutions can provide
29、decision support to claims adjusters and reduce leakage by assisting with coverage determination,informing litigation strategies,plans/budgets and counsel selection,proactively monitoring and escalating open inventory,and detecting fraud throughout the process.AI in claims decisionsAN INSURERS PERSP
30、ECTIVE“The more we can get more precise with the rating variables that are specific to you,the more competitive were going to be,because were going to have been more accurate in charging you the right rate for your risk.Just,profitability all around.”10AI enhances underwriting funnel metrics(e.g.,su
31、bmission to quote,quote to bind)with intelligent submission ingestion,data enrichment,triage,and appetite and propensity to bind scoring.AI-powered analytical models and profitability insights can help underwriters determine which submissions to pursue,more quickly assess their quality and win prope
32、nsity,and better prepare for price negotiation.In addition,AI helps underwriters assess risk and identify cross-selling opportunities through analysis of similar accounts/risks in the portfolio.AI in underwriting decisionsA life insurer in China has deployed an intelligent risk control system that e
33、nables end-to-end automation of insurance applications.Behind the scenes,an intelligent verification engine has allowed the insurer to improve underwriting efficiency,customer experience,and risk control.The system uses technologies such as optical character recognition,facial recognition,electronic
34、 signatures,and big data analysis to collect customer information in real-time.With the customers authorization,the system verifies their documents,appearance,signature,insurance application history,social relationships,and application behaviors using third-party data.By using multiple data chains,t
