The insurance industry fast-tracks technology adoption to improve customer interactions, develop competitive solutions, and optimize business processes. By digitizing solutions and partnering with new value-chain allies, they can connect with customers in innovative ways and increase operational efficiency. They gain further business value from their digital transformation by ensuring that they utilize an ever-increasing flow of data, protect customer and business information from cybersecurity threats, and retain customers when technology makes it easy to switch providers.
