Unique Challenges Faced by the Insurance Industry:

Increase in Insurance Options

Carriers find themselves competing with not just traditional competitors and distribution channels but also new and Tech-Empowered players that are disrupting the way insurance is sold and serviced.

Easy Access to Insurance Services

Digital savvy customers and distribution partners expect round the clock, omni-channel self-service ways that are engaging and easy to use when purchasing insurance products.

Neglected Agent and Auxiliary Systems​

As compared to investments made to modernizing internal ecosystems, too little is spent on upgrading technology tools that enable agents and other distribution channels to do their job efficiently and effectively.

Ever-Changing Customer Preferences

These include factors such as age, language, wage, lifestyle, work-culture, and expectations that are rapidly changing with both current and new customers.

Product Lifecycle

The speed with which carriers are required to develop, market, distribute, and manage, insurance products is getting shorter than ever as they try to retain existing customers and acquire new ones while the cost of doing so escalates

Lower Investment Income

Reduced investment income means carriers have a greater need to make an underwriting profit and manage underwriting expenses effectively

Increasing Expenses

Increase in Replacement costs, raw material, cost of parts, transportation, labor etc. have led to adverse pressures on profitability for carriers

Technology Debt and Backlogs

Carriers struggle to keep up with technological infrastructure improvements and have an ever-growing backlog of projects to execute and to remain competitive in the market.

Cost Effective Data Management

Carriers are obliged to turn to data and analytics to detect potential exposures early and devise mitigation plans accordingly, but this comes at a cost and a burden to smoothly integrate with data providers and vendors.

Business Assurance

Increased usage and frequent changes in the technology infrastructure leads to increased need to manage these changes and to invest in quality insurance programs to avoid disruption of service to customers and partners.

Changes in Risk Exposure

Changes in the frequency and severity of claims, new exposures with the passage of time, environmental, and political factors have a huge impact in terms of the profitability and performance hindering the carriers ability to underwrite new business.

Disruptions in Supply Chain

Global economic, political, and climate changes has an impact in terms of cost and time for carriers to settle claims thereby impacting the profitability of their business

Regulatory Compliance

Carriers find themselves with an Increased regulatory and compliance burden impacting their ability to focus on business retention and growth

Economy
