For insurance carriers, automation can be a dangerous game as customers demand both a frictionless, automated claims process and access to understanding claims handlers. How do you find the right balance?

With chatbots at FNOL, image analytics estimating damage more accurately than any human, and complex claims being fast-tracked to claims adjusters, virtual claims handling delivers the efficiency that customers expect with the empathy customers need. Join our panel of experts as they share insig

With 90% of carriers actively investing in new data projects, project failure is not an option.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have become mainstays in the insurance industry, equipping insurance companies with tools that can help them to become more efficient and profitable than ever before.

According to a recent survey, over 70% of insurance carriers are looking to inv

As insurance carriers look to technology to meet customer demands at scale, how carriers react to competition and rising customer expectations today will define their success tomorrow.

LONDON: C-level summits focusing on convergence of insurance and technology to return to London, Chicago, Toronto and Amsterdam in 2020, Insurance Nexus have just announced.

CHICAGO: Insurance Nexus webinar to explore how insurance carriers can collaborate with brokers and clients to build customer-centric cyber insurance policies, July 30^th, 11am ET

Cyber-crime is not new, but as the methods of nefarious actors have become more sophisticated, the defensive capabilities of organizations have failed to keep pace. Cyber-attacks on organizations show no signs of abating, they are becoming increasingly indiscriminate in their targeting, with small and medium sized firms

From day-to-day operations, to the very relationship between insurers and policyholders, it is no exaggeration to say that Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents the biggest potential for transformation that insurance has witnessed since the invention of the computer, even changing the very nature of the insurer-customer relationship. Insurance Nexus held a series of interviews with Canadian Insurance executives and thought leaders, to understand how they are preparing for the AI-dominated futu

The recent and rapid growth in cyber-crime is proving something of a double-edged sword for insurance carriers; opportunities for coverage are expanding rapidly, with PWC predicting the cyber market to grow to $7.5 billion by the end of the decade, up from $2.5 billion in 2018. With the sector in its formative years and not all consumers convinced of the need for cyber coverage, most carriers are competing by offering expanding cyber coverage without charging additional premiums, at significant

Much discussed, yet often misunderstood, it’s clear that Artificial Intelligence is set to dominate the global Insurance sector for the foreseeable future – and Canada is no different. Despite being a somewhat nascent discipline within insurance, progress in silicon centres across the nation mean carriers recognize the potential of AI to cut costs, improve the customer experience and generate sustainable long-term growth.

Although currently centred around Toronto and Montreal, new government and

With new technologies enabling both operational efficiency and a superior customer experience, from artificial intelligence to drones and mobile customer communication methods, it is a critical time for claims executives to explore opportunities to innovate their processes. A recent survey of over 600 insurance executives found that three technologies will principally ‘transform’ claims over the next 2-5 years: automation (75.4%), artificial intelligence and machine learning (70.8%) and image an

The competition between European insurers has never been greater. As impactful technology becomes cheaper to access and more widely available, insurers must meet customer needs and demands now, or lose their customers forever; outdated products, inefficient processes and poor customer service are no longer acceptable.

As insurance’s ‘moment of truth’, the claims process is a critical priority for insurers. Although complex, condensing ease of access, transparency, speed and quality customer servi
