Insurance Transformation - Fit For Digital
Insurance transformation – preparing for the digital age
The UK insurance market is a highly competitive and price driven environment, it’s one where customer retention is a challenge and the cost of fraud is high (approximately £1billion/year). For insurers, digital transformation is the way forward in overcoming the challenges of; better understanding customers to deliver an enhanced experience, lowering insurance premiums, and competing with insurtechs that have the capability to settle claims in a matter of seconds.
Through digitalisation, operations can be transformed, processes streamlined, and insurers enabled to comply with the introduction of 2018 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Historically, the financial services sector has led the way in introducing innovative new technology, but the question is, is this the case with digitalisation - are insurers prepared for the new digital age?
We interviewed our subject matter expert Mark Boulton to capture his thoughts on the research findings and how co-creation can help overcome the challenges of insurance transformation.

Digital disruption – an opportunity or a challenge for insurers?
In order to discover where insurance service providers are regarding the radical changes that are required to become truly digitally enabled, Fujitsu commissioned a survey of 1,200 C-suite decision makers. This included 357 from the financial services sector, who were asked how prepared they are for the new era of change.
Our 2016 report - Fit for Digital, highlights the challenges insurers face on their journey to digitalisation, and offers guidance as to lessening the impact.
