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

To win the customer’s heart, insurers cannot afford to lag behind on customer-focused innovation. Throughout the claims journey they must deliver interactive, personalised experiences. Whilst there are many barriers to implementing AI and analytics effectively to drive results across customer service and claims, it is essential for winning and retaining customers in the future.

Insurance Nexus is hosting a live webinar on the 26^th June which poses fundamental questions to two leading insurers on

Ahead of this year’s Connected Claims Europe Summit (September 18th & 19th, Amsterdam), Insurance Nexus spoke to global thought leaders working in Claims (from AXA Insurance, American Modern Insurance Group, Zurich and more), to understand how they are preparing to meet exceptionally high customer expectations.

The report, The Future of Customer-Led, Technology-Driven Claims, explores how advances in technology, from artificial intelligence to drones and mobile communications methods, are enablin

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

What Is Next-Generation Data Storage?

It has become crucial to store and manage the gigantic pool of data with the emergence of larger systems, IT, and business environment. This big basket of data, today called the "next-generation data”, emphasizes the need to store data efficiently and reliably. This is where next-generation data storage came into being.

What do we understand by next-generation data storage?

Next-Generation Storage is an advanced product and solutions portfolio that supports dat

You have probably heard of one data breach after another these days, but this is one that you should really pay attention to: more than 772 million unique emails, along with more than 21 million unique passwords, have been exposed.

Troy Hunt, who runs the website “Have I Been Pwned,” first reported this breach, and he says that a huge file (87 GB) was uploaded to MEGA, a cloud service. This data was then sent to a popular hacking site, and now hackers have access to all of these passwords and ema

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

An unsurprising study was recently released that found even when a portable USB drive is erased, not all of the documents and images are always removed. That, of course, is frightening.

Here’s how the research was done:

Researchers went online to sites like eBay, to second-hand shops, and even auction stores. They bought 200 used USB drives, half from the US and half from the UK. Almost 2/3 of the devices had data on them! This data was, for the most part, personal data, and it can also be used by

Senior claims officers from two leading insurance carriers, USAA and Esurance, will participate in a live, free webinar, hosted by Insurance Nexus, on the transformative effect of Connected Claims. These leading executives will explore how they expect the new era of connected claims to deliver unprecedented business efficiency and superior customer experience.

Our research has revealed that carriers are already on the path towards the ‘organization-wide’ approach to Connected Claims transformati

In a few short years, on-demand has quickly become the norm. From getting our fix of food, entertainment, shopping or even dating, the majority of our interactions have gone one way: personalised, instant, easy. So, why not insurance?

TORONTO: Leading Canadian insurers to share strategies for exceeding customer expectations in exclusive webinar, April 3^rd, 10am CDT

In-step with global trends, the Canadian insurance industry is witnessing a rapid shift towards customer-centricity.

Given the depth and pace of innovation taking place within the insurance industry, Insurance Nexus decided it is crucial to put a spotlight on the achievements of the insurance carriers, leaders and brokers driving lasting change and demonstrating exce

Customer service has recently taken a central focus for insurance carriers. The exploits of digitally-native InsurTechs such as Metromile and Lemonade have demonstrated the appeal that personalized, seamless product offerings can create. In a 2019 Insurance Nexus survey, a majority of respondents felt that the customer experience would see the greatest impact from the implementation of AI.

Yet, while 2018 saw many legacy carriers conduct a host of pilot initiatives aimed at improving the customer

From day-to-day operations, to the very relationship between insurers and policy-holders, it is no exaggeration to say that connected insurance represents the biggest potential for transformation that insurance has witnessed since the invention of the computer. See, for example, the ability of an insurance carrier to react to live data, in real time, and prevent a loss from occurring. From simply mitigating the effects of a loss, they now become partners in risk-prevention.
