According to top analysts, 80% Insurance executives claim that their organization's business and technology strategies are becoming inseparable - even indistinguishable.

The insurance industry is witnessing a radical change due to the disruption caused by altering market conditions, rising insurtech startups and demanding customers. Digital transformation has emerged as a disruption in the insurance industry- with benefits for both the policyholders and the insurance companies.

As we step into a new fiscal year, here are the top 5 benefits of digital insurance for insurance companies in 2022 and beyond.

1. Predictive Analytics for Effective Risk Assessments

Insurance risks are continuously changing in the post-pandemic world due to the rise of new modalities like the changing customer demands, volatile market, global political changes etc, these changes can have a detrimental effect on revenue. At this juncture, risk forecasting and assessment become critical for insurance companies to have a holistic view of the developments and available opportunities.

With predictive analytics, insurance companies can leverage historical data on customer behavioral patterns, demography etc during risk assessment, to enhance their pricing models and control risk-accumulation. Predictive and data analytics can help insurers optimize their service offerings across industries.

2. Legacy Transformation

The rise of digital-first insurance companies and insurtech startups have pushed the conservative insurance industry to adopt digital transformation to improve customer service and retention. Legacy transformation has emerged as a key business necessity for insurance companies, as legacy technologies have restricted functionalities and it's difficult to integrate with the agile technology solutions of today.

By deploying scalable digital platforms hosted on cloud, insurance companies can streamline key business processes like document generation, premium calculations, risk assessments etc. Legacy transformation to modern IT solutions not only improves employee experience but also reduces the cost of operations.
