Competition in the Property and Casualty (P&C) insurance sector is intensifying, as new entrants, evolving customer expectations, technological innovations, and growing popularity of intermediated distribution networks threaten to disrupt established business models. Although the traditional insurance business model has stayed resilient for a long time, digital transformation has certainly evolved from being a futuristic concept to becoming the top priority for senior leadership’s strategic mandate. As the global connected ecosystem evolves, it has become critical for insurers to reimagine their growth strategy and focus on delivering customer value at every touch point.

To help insurers embark on their digital transformation journey, IT service providers are pivoting their offerings around next-generation technologies, investing aggressively in their front-office support capabilities, as well as investing in strategic alliances with leading product/platform providers to strengthen their value proposition. As insurers evolve their product development ideology from a “one-size-fits-all” approach to an “on-demand hyper-personalized” approach, service providers that can articulate definite business outcomes on digital spend, ensure predictability, and help buyers evaluate the right-fit product distribution needs, will witness superior success in the sector.
