Insurance

With net new premium being hard to attract, the drive for organic growth is imperative. Insurers need to better service their existing customers to avoid attrition while helping producers to identify the next best product to up-sell or cross-sell. They need to gain a single view of all customer interactions, understand profitability per customer, increase the relevance of offers, and ensure a seamless customer service experience across all channels. Microsoft supports insurers with CRM and enterprise business productivity solutions to improve sales performance, build customer loyalty through improved service, and optimize efficiency through streamlined workflow and operations.

The economic situation, catastrophe environments and changes to regulatory regimes are prompting revolutionary changes to risk management. Insurers need a higher level of sophistication in risk modelling and analytics to measure their entire exposure – from market volatility to mortality, catastrophe, and fraud. Microsoft supports insurance carriers with partner-led solutions that help speed and improve risk modelling, share that risk-based data across the business, and share risk practices inside and outside of the organization, as needed.

With continuing soft markets, increased competition, a tough economy, and demanding producers and customers, it is critical to optimize channel strategies and fuel innovation in new product development. However, insurers are often faced with a complex legacy core system environment that is brittle, lacks agility and is extremely expensive to maintain. Microsoft supports insurance carriers with a high-performance, mission-critical platform that can power core systems such as policy administration, billing and claims. These resulting core systems help improve IT cost ratios while providing the flexible, configurable foundation needed for business transformation. The results include faster new product development, improved channels, and the ability to respond more quickly to business’ demands on IT.
