Insurers globally are acknowledging the significance of updating their technological infrastructure. According to a survey by Gartner, Inc., with evolving organizational dynamics and rapid technology change, 87% of marketers are concerned about technological enhancements, including GenAI, which might lead to the replacement of jobs in the industry. On the contrary, GenAI can be leveraged to enhance human productivity and experience and not to replace them.
In the core of Property and Casualty (P&C) Insurance, various insurance software, including Guidewire, Duck Creek, Majesco and Genesys, define and maintain insurance products without tapping into valuable IT resources. One such powerful software platform is poised to seize opportunities from the increasing demand, aiming to further enhance its market presence.
Generative AI in Insurance
The insurance industry is evolving from a reactive model that focuses on fixing problems after they happen to a proactive approach that prioritizes preventing problems from occurring in the first place. The incorporation of GenAI into the insurance claims process signifies a noteworthy stride in the industry’s digital transformation. It presents substantial opportunities for insurers to
- Boost efficiency
- Cut costs
- Elevate customer satisfaction
With Generative AI, claims reports can be generated by a virtual claims assessment process using photographic evidence by visualizing the damage. It has the capability to increase the precision of damage assessments, bolster fraud detection efforts, and provide valuable data-driven insights. Gartner report states that by 2027, Generative AI-enhanced cost optimization will automate 40% of data and analytics spending in cloud-based data ecosystems.

Disadvantages in the Current Insurance Process
Despite the integration of automation, the current insurance process needs to improve its efficiency and customer satisfaction. Manual tasks and legacy systems can lead to delays in tasks like policy issuance, claims processing, and customer service interactions.
- On-premise infrastructure often struggles to adapt to fluctuating workloads, leading to potential bottlenecks during peak periods.
- Cumbersome applications with excessive paperwork, lack of readily available online portals or mobile applications, high administrative costs and data security risks.
Addressing these disadvantages is crucial for insurers to remain competitive in the evolving landscape. Cloud-based solutions and advanced technologies offer promising avenues to overcome these limitations.
