Creating value through
digital transformation

For global insurers, digital transformation and disruptive

innovation have gone from being vague futuristic concepts
to immediate-term action items on senior leaders’ strategic
agendas. New competitive threats, ongoing cost pressures, aging
technology, increasing regulatory requirements and generally
lackluster financial performance are among the forces that
demand significant change and entirely new business models.

Other external developments — the steady progress toward driverless cars, the rapid
emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and profound demographic shifts — are
placing further pressure on insurers. A common fear is that new market entrants will

Defining our terms: what digital transformation means
Digital transformation is a term used so frequently and variously that it is commonly misunderstood. The term is best defined as capitalizing
on the power of technology to revisit business models, acquire customers to new channels and create essential user experiences.

Insurers that digitize the enterprise in this way can automate slow, error-prone and expensive processes for increased speed, accuracy and
cost efficiency. They can streamline and simplify existing operations to deliver immediate-term performance gains, but also to become more
nimble for longer-term success, based on a well-honed ability to continuously add and enhance more digital capabilities.

By definition, digital transformation strategies can be applied broadly across the organization and incorporate a number of related disciplines.

Innovation management: Insurers today must offer a wider portfolio of products for them to stay relevant
to consumers looking for high degrees of personalization. Innovative portfolio management techniques and the ability to
establish product “factories” are critical to designing better products and delivering them to market faster.
Innovation isn’t just about products, of course. Digital transformation programs may drive innovation in back-office
processes, too (fully automated claims management processes, etc.). They can also enable future innovation by removing
technology barriers. For example, better integrated data from sensors deployed within automobiles or buildings can make
for smarter underwriting, as well as providing the impetus for innovative product models, such as pay-per-use policies.
Similarly, peer-to-peer insurance has become possible through the adoption of digital communities on social media.

E mphasis on ex perience: Enhanced experiences in the service of closer and more direct consumer
relationships are the targets for many digital transformation programs. According to EY research, global insurance
consumers place an extraordinarily high value on quality digital experiences. EY surveys show that 40% of consumers
decide to continue insurer relationships based on the quality of the experience. Rising consumer expectations and
increasing willingness to switch to new providers are forcing insurers to be more accountable, transparent and effective.
Again, these attributes are frequent byproducts of successful digital transformations.
Experience often boils down to the ease of interactions, with insurers able to recognize customers as they shift channels
during the course of a single claims process or as they research new policies. Consumers want to interface with insurers
digitally, as well as through other channels. The expectation is that there is consistent information and context across all
channels — so the insurers recognize customers and what they’re trying to accomplish and where they are in their customer
journeys, no matter the channel. It is critical — a baseline customer expectation, really — that hand-offs between channels are
seamless, with insurers capable of managing the proper processes, training, governance and controls to make it happen.

N ew models: Given the lagging position of many insurers in digital transformation, the industry is seeking new options
for advancing their digital capabilities. Those options include partnerships or acquisition with FinTechs and InsurTechs. Other
companies are investing in FinTechs, creating their own internal innovation labs or collaborative partnerships with technology
leaders outside the industry. The creation of industry “utilities,” where individual companies or groups of insurers offer
actuarial as a service, also has strong potential upside. As digital transformation looks different at different insurers, these
are all valid strategies to achieve it.

Digital transformation across the insurance value chain:
a path to maturity and value creation

Digital transformation delivers tangible and intangible value across the insurance value
chain, with specific benefits in six key areas:

experience
reduction enhancement market productivity efficiency efficiency

It’s important to emphasize speed and agility as essential attributes of the digital insurer. Even the most innovative firms must move quickly
if they are to fully capitalize on the value of their innovations — a concept that applies across the entire value chain. The idea is to launch
microservices faster and embrace modernized technology where possible. For instance, deploying cloud infrastructures will enable some
parts of the business to scale up and scale down faster, without disrupting other parts of the business with major “big dig” implementations.

The dependencies and limitations of legacy technology are also worth reiterating. Insurers that can integrate process innovations and
new tools with existing systems — and do so efficiently and without introducing new operational risk — will gain a tangible and sustainable
competitive advantage.

The digital transformation scorecards on the following pages reflect how the
benefits apply to different technologies and initiatives.

 Omni- channel
Today’s consumers are naturally omni-channel, researching products online, recommending and talking about
them with friends and contacts on social media, and then buying them via mobile apps or at brick-and-mortar retail
locations. Basically, they want a wide range of options — text, email, web chat, phone and sometimes in-person. A
better omni-channel environment may also enable insurers to place new products in front of potential customers
sooner and more directly than in the past.

Insurers must look beyond merely supporting multiple channels and find the means to allow customers to move seamlessly between
channels, or even within channels (such as when they move from chatting with a bot to chatting with a human agent). It is difficult to
overstate how challenging it is to create the capabilities (both technological and organizational) to recognize customers and what they are
seeking to do, without forcing them to re-enter their passwords or repeat their questions.

There are many other subtleties to master, including context. For example, a customer trying to connect via social media to voice concerns is
not likely to respond well to a default ad or upsell offering. Omni-channel is increasingly a baseline capability that insurers must establish to
achieve digital maturity.

 Big data analytics
The application of advanced analytical techniques to large and ever-expanding data sets is also foundational for
digital insurers. For instance, predictive analytics can identify suitable products for customers in particular regions
and demographic cohorts that go far beyond the rudimentary cross-selling and upselling approaches used by
many insurers. Big data analytics also hold the key for creating personalized user experiences.

Analytics that “listen” to customer inputs and recognize patterns can identify opportunities for new products that can be launched quickly
to seize market openings. Deep analysis of the customer base may make clear which distribution channels (including individual agents and
brokers) are the best fit for certain types of leads, leading to increased sales productivity.

The back-office value proposition for big data analytics can also be built on superior recognition of fraudulent claims, which are estimated
to be around 10% of all submitted claims, with an impact of approximately $40 billion in the US alone. Reducing that number is an example
of how digital transformation efforts can be self-funding. Plus, the analytics capabilities established in anti-fraud units can be extended into
other areas of the business.

Big data is also reshaping the risk and compliance space in important ways. As insurers move toward more precise risk evaluations (including
the use of data from social channels), they must also be cognizant of shifting regulations regarding data security and consumer privacy. It
won’t be easy ground to navigate.

creating personalized user experiences.

Internet of Things ( IoT)

The onset of smart homes gives insurers a unique opportunity to adopt more advanced and effective risk
mitigation techniques. For instance, intelligent sensors can monitor the flow of water running through pipes to
protect against losses caused by a broken water pipe. Similar technology can be used to monitor for fire or flood
conditions or break-ins at both private homes and commercial properties.

The IoT clearly illustrates the new competitive fronts and partnership opportunities for insurers; leading technology and consumer
electronics providers have a head start in engaging consumers via smart appliances and thermostats. Consumers, therefore, may not wish
to share the same or additional data with their insurers. Insurers may also be confronted by the data capture and management challenges
related to IoT and other connected devices.

 Telematics
Sometimes grouped with IoT, data from sensors and telematics devices have applications across the full range of
insurance lines:
• Real-time driver behavior data for automotive insurance

• Smart appliances — including thermostats and security alarms — within homeowners insurance

• Fitness trackers for life and health insurance

• Warehouse monitors and fleet management in commercial insurance

The data streams from these devices are invaluable for more precise underwriting and more responsive claims management, as well as
product innovation. Telematics data provides the foundation for usage-based insurance (UBI), which is sometimes called “pay-as-you-drive”
or “pay-as-you-live.” Premium pricing could be based on actual usage and driving habits, with discounts linked to miles driven, slow or
moderate speeds and safe braking patterns, for instance.

Consider, too, how in-vehicle devices enable a fully automated claims process:
• Telematics data registers an automobile accident and automatically triggers a first notice of loss (FNOL) entry.

• Claims information is updated through text-based interactions with drivers or fleet managers.

• Claimants could be offered the opportunity to close claims in 60 minutes or less.

Such data could also be used to combat claims fraud, with analysis of the links between severity of the medical condition and the impact
of the accident. Some insurers are already realizing the benefits of safe driving discounts and more effective fraud prevention. These
telematics-driven processes will likely become standard operating procedure for all insurers in the near future.

 V oice biometrics and analysis
Audio and voice data may be the most unstructured data of all, but it too offers considerable potential value
to those insurers that can learn to harness it. A first step is to use voice biometrics to identify customers when
they call into contact centers, saving customers the inconvenience of entering policy numbers and passwords,
information that may not be readily at hand.

Other insurers seeking to better understand their customers may convert analog voice data from call center
interactions into digital formats that can be scanned and analyzed to identify customer emotions and adjust service
delivery or renewal and cross-selling offers accordingly. The manual quality control process checks for less than
1% of the recordings, which is insufficient. Through automation, the entire recording can be assessed to identify
improvement areas.

data of all, but it too offers considerable potential
value to those insurers that can learn to harness it.

Drones and satellites

Early-adopting insurers are already using drones and satellites to handle critical tasks in underwriting and claims.
In commercial insurance, for instance, drones can conduct site inspections, capturing thermal imagery of facilities
or work sites. Their reviews can be as specific as looking for roof cracks, old or damaged boilers, and other
physical plan defects that can pose claims risks.

Within homeowners lines, satellites can capture data to analyze roofs, chimneys and surrounding terrain so that insurers can determine
which homeowner they want to add to underwrite, as well as calculate competitive and profitable premiums. When linked to digital
communications tools, drone and satellite data can even trigger notifications to customers of new price options or policy adjustments.

Within claims, drones and satellites can handle many tasks previously handled by human adjustors across all lines of business. Such remote
assessments can reduce claims processing time by a considerable degree. This method is particularly effective in situations such as after
floods, fires and natural disasters, where direct assessment is not possible.

While many transformation programs that use drones and satellites remain in the experimental stages due to operational challenges, it is
possible that they can improve the efficiency and accuracy of underwriting and claims information gathering by 40%.

 Blockchain
Blockchain provides a foundation for entirely new business models and product offerings, such as peer-to-peer
insurance, thanks to its ability to provide virtual assistance for quoting, claims handling and other tasks. It also
provides a new level of information transparency, accuracy and currency, with easier access for all parties and
stakeholders in an insurance contract. With higher levels of autonomy and attribution, blockchain’s architectural
properties provide a strong digital foundation to drive use of mobile-to-mobile transactions and swifter, secure
payment models, improved data transparency and reduced risk of duplication or exposure management.

Insurance companies are interested in converting selected policies from an existing book to a peer-to-peer market. A blockchain network is
developed as a mechanism for integrating this peer-to-peer market with a distributed transaction ledger, transparent auditability and “smart”
executable policy.

E-aggregators are another emerging business model that is likely to gain traction, because it is appealing to both insurers and the customers.
Insurers can offer better pricing due to reduced commissions compared to a traditional agent-based distribution model, while customers gain
new freedom to compare different policies based on better information. Of course, e-aggregators (whether fully independent or built through
an existing technology platform) will require a sophisticated and robust digital platform for gathering information from different insurance
companies to present it to consumers in the context of a clear, intuitive experience. It is also important for insurance companies to transfer
information to e-aggregators rapidly; otherwise, there is the risk they will miss out on sales opportunities. This is why blockchain is the right
technology for connecting e-aggregators and insurers.
