Business challenge

Claims processing is where insurance providers make their money and prove their worth to their clients. Today’s savvy consumers expect prompt communication about and transparency in the claims process, as well as quick settlements. Meeting these higher customer expectations while increasing profitability and protecting sensitive data against growing cyberthreats is a serious challenge.

Impact

  • Manual, paper-based claims management is incredibly labor-intensive, eating into profits and burdening workers with time-consuming, tedious tasks that take them away from face-to-face customer service.
  • Today’s consumers expect instant, attentive service, and inefficient claims processing impacts the customer experience. Policyholders who are not satisfied with claims handling often switch carriers.
  • Data privacy, security, and compliance are critical for insurance providers, and the industry is heavily regulated. Yet manually managing paper and electronic claims records in separate workflows impedes transparency and auditability while complicating data security.
