Match Multiple Vendor Applications To Your Business Needs With Insurtech as a Service

Gain a 360-Degree View of Your Customers

With Insurtech as a Service, Hitachi Consulting (now a part of Hitachi Digital Services) delivers an organization’s end-to-end technical estate as a managed service. This means we will find leading multivendor solutions and use Hitachi’s data integration accelerator to help you reduce your cost per policy, know your customers better and facilitate regulatory compliance all at the same time.

Background and Business Challenges

At present many insurance organizations are driving towards leveraging data to help with customer engagement. Typically, however, insurance organizations’ back-office functions make it difficult and costly to manage enormous volumes of data efficiently and cost effectively. Many legacy applications are required to retain dormant data, and large administrative processing power is needed to collect data from disparate datasets. From a budgetary perspective, IT investments are seen as a capital expenditure by which large sums of money are diverted from the rest of the business, meaning less to invest in other areas of the organization. Therefore, IT budgets are being squeezed, making it much more difficult to deploy new technologies for innovative purposes.

Solution and Approach

Hitachi Digital Services Insurtech-as-a-Service solution architecture pre-integrates the applications commonly used by insurers. This approach enables them to focus on their customers and financial innovation.

Best-in-industry policy administration, customer relationship management, documentation management, and other essential functions are pre-integrated, using extensible frameworks (see Figure 1). These frameworks are all provided on a subscription basis, wrapped with a managed service to reduce your cost per policy.

We are consistently partnering with insurtech companies to meet end-to end value chain objectives. With this solution we lower back-office IT costs, free up capital to improve ongoing customer engagement and grow the book of business.
