RISKMASTER ACCELERATOR IMPROVE SERVICE REDUCE COSTS COMPETE EFFECTIVELY FLEXIBILITY SCALABILITY CONFIGURABILITY FOR PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANIES
RISKMASTER ACCELERATOR FOR FAST, FLEXIBLE CLAIMS PROCESSING AUTOMATE AND STREAMLINE CLAIMS PROCESSES FOR: Increased speed Improved consistency Fewer errors Higher customer retention rates In a highly competitive market, insurers worldwide face many similar business challenges. Growing premiums and maintaining policyholder retention levels are essential for any insurer to thrive. Yet retention rates are falling in several segments including personal lines, as consumers expect the same levels of service they receive from providers in other service industries such as retail and mobile phone providers. Insurers must resolve claims swiftly and seamlessly in order to ensure high retention rates; customers who have positive claims experiences tend to stay with their existing provider, but those who are dissatisfied with the service they receive can easily switch insurers. Fast and efficient claims resolution has other benefits too. Earlier claims settlement also results in reduced claims expenses and lower payouts. With around 70% of premium income spent by insurers on settling claims, it makes good business sense to resolve claims quickly. In reality, however, operational efficiency and business agility are a continuous battle for many carriers, as they struggle with multiple IT systems operating on disparate platforms, with no central point for storing or accessing data. Outdated, complex, and often home-grown software can be costly to maintain and hard to configure. And many insurers still rely on manual processes, which inevitably delay claims processing times and increase costs. To remain competitive, organizations like yours must raise the bar on customer service companies that don t do so will fall behind. But how can you achieve this? You need a system that empowers you to improve efficiency and meet consumer expectations by enabling swifter, more accurate claims resolution a fully functional, enterprise-wide claims processing solution that is easy to integrate and that delivers flexibility, scalability and configurability.
