Accelerate the shift to digital

Conventional insurance business models have proven to be remarkably flexible for quite a while, but the industry is starting to feel the impact that digital technology has on how products and services are delivered.
As a result, this digital shift will change the nature of those products and services, and even the business model itself. The insurance industry is facing intense market pressures from many angles—new entrants are quickly exploiting new technology to offer niche offerings while consumers are clamoring for the pleasing experiences they are now routinely offered by retailers and other industries. 
We believe that the companies that move swiftly and decisively are likely to be those that win big. New revenue streams await insurers who can tap into digital to shift from being purely reactive—indemnifiers of risk—to more proactive partners to their customers, perhaps helping them to avoid needing to file a claim at all. Successful insurers will automate processes that are cumbersome to free up resources who can focus on designing and delivering insights & experiences that will keep them in lock-step with their customers and prospects.
We help insurers reimagine and create digital ready processes that not only drive superior performance but also close the process gaps between customers, suppliers and partners with automation, insights, point solutions and platforms. Cognizant has developed a host of proprietary point solutions and platforms for the end-to-end insurance value chain that are industry leading examples to deliver better outcomes.
