The Insurance industry is known for its risks and low return on investment. In recent years the industry has a 10x increase in Insurance technology investment. Is the industry about to transform through its own digital methods? In this blog we will see how API’s can help the Insurance Industry on their road to Digital Transformation.
The Challenge of Transformation
Digital insurance platforms allow insurance companies to connect with their ecosystem on a single, unified platform. The insurance industry is operating in a phase of deep-seated disruption. Traditional insurers need to rethink their business and operating models. With the broadening of product offerings and being price competitive, customer expectations change faster frequently.
This disruption creates increased pressure on IT to deliver fundamental business value. There has never been so much emphasis on IT’s ability to drive digital transformation that aids new services and offerings, new customer touchpoints, and better customer experiences, driving more operational efficiencies with the traditional business systems. With all these growing demands and delivery capacity remaining fixed, it isn't easy to know where to start.
It might sound easy to roll up your sleeves and get started with the projects. But many insurers create new use case documentation, proofs of concepts, integrations and services requirements, and a batch of other documentation often to solve specific issues. When the next project hits, both business and IT teams are doing these things all over again, which is not sustainable for IT departments. The real trial is about establishing a scalable way to remove this challenge. This needs an entirely new way of thinking and operating.

Phase 1: Unlock data
Often referred to as legacy modernization. Legacy systems hold silos of data that are hard to utilize to the organization’s advantage, mainly due to the lack of visibility in your data and logic due to complex point-to-point connectivity. As your systems portfolio grows, customer data becomes increasingly complex. This step is about unlocking data using APIs to build a foundation for data flow across your enterprise.
Phase 2: Build connected experiences
Now with the unlocked data, it needs to be harnessed to deliver greater visibility to customers. Creating a single customer view and using this to drive strategic decision-making is the key to creating an enhanced customer experience. By orchestrating data for a single view for the customer, customer service can be improved, ensuring that the user experience is consistent across all platforms. This includes keeping the customer informed across devices like mobile and desktop.
