Digital disruption in endorsements creates exceptional value

Industry Overview

The property and casualty (P&C) insurance landscape has changed considerably as insurers focus on digital transformation to drive growth, profitability, and better end-user experiences. It is imperative to identify the desired outcomes at the outset of the transformation journey in order to prioritize digital interventions and improve the most critical business performance indicators – especially in the case of transforming endorsement operations.

A next-gen digital endorsement portal optimizes processes

Since optimizing end-user experiences remains the cornerstone of every digital transformation effort, it is imperative focus on creating niche, custom-built solutions addressing specific industry challenges.

An innovative digital endorsement portal must leverage advanced technologies to service the value chain end-to-end. It must deploy advanced digital technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) natural language processing (NLP), and natural language understanding (NLU) to read unstructured and unstandardized emails, identify the intent of these messages, and extract business critical information.
