Access the report The Future of Customer-Led, Technology-Driven Claims now One common thread throughout our interviews was the emphasis on customer expectations as a significant driver of claims transformation; although a disruptive phenomenon, Martin Ashfield, Claims Technical Director at AXA acknowledges that “hugely increased customer expectations…has been a positive trend and [it is] quite right that the insurance industry has had to up its game.” The subsequent primacy attached to customer expectations was also clear to see; “We put the customer at the centre of everything we do,” says Andreas Kleiner, CEO & President, American Modern. “Not just with claims management, but throughout our organisation.” This sentiment is echoed by Zurich Digital Distribution Director Alessandro Paoli, who concedes that “modern customers want 24-hour access, [be it] web, apps, interactions with chatbots or contact centres”, and for an insurer to take customer-centricity seriously, “these requests need to be delivered immediately.” While the path to take may not be, the benefits of claims transformation are, however, clear to see; “positive claims service experiences lead to a much higher retention ratio as well as to new business acquisitions,” explains Jon Thornton, Vice President of Claim Operations, Westfield Insurance. Other contributors to this whitepaper were Cal Hankins, Vice President of Claims, CSAA Insurance Group, Fausto Martin, Fausto J. Martin & Co. and Laura Pierman, Vice President of Claim Operations, Amerisure. Access the report The Future of Customer-Led, Technology-Driven Claims now The 14-page report includes:
