It logically explains why traditional ways of doing business will soon become irrelevant and therefore provides an alternative choice by embracing technology.
Practitioners and students alike will find value in the support for understanding practical implications of how technology has brought innovation and modern methods to measure, control, and evaluation price risk in the insurance business. It will help insurers reduce operational costs, strengthen customer interactions, target potential customers to provide usage-based insurance, and optimize the overall business.
Retailers and industry giants have made significant strides in adopting digital platforms to deliver a satisfying customer experience. Insurance companies must adjust their business models and strategies to remain competitive and take advantage of technology. Insurance companies are increasingly investing in IT and related technologies to improve customer experience and reduce operational costs.
