EXPLORE THE INDUSTRY STORIES

How an insurer delivered a claims portal for over 3,000 brokers in three months

Independent brokers needed claim updates from any device, but had to call an overloaded service center. Existing systems consumed much of the IT budget and made a new service experience difficult to prioritize. The source reports access for more than 3,000 brokers, available around the clock. It also describes fewer customer-service calls and lower call-center costs without quantifying the reduction, followed by a customer-facing version.

How an insurer built an 83-application portfolio around broker experience

Slow delivery and a multi-year backlog made it difficult to give independent brokers the products and service experience they needed. Fragmented sourcing also encouraged departments to find their own technology workarounds. At the time of the source report, the insurer had delivered and continuously evolved 83 applications. The story also reports 274% policy growth over its historical program and growth from 250,000 to about one million customers; these are business outcomes alongside the transformation, not a forecast or an isolated software effect.

How an insurer launched a new agent portal in four months

An older interface layered over a core insurance system was difficult for agents to learn and scattered information across screens. The experience made recruiting and supporting agents harder. The main source narrative reports the first portal debut after four months, followed by monthly releases. Agents gained a consolidated view of their work and access to twenty non-life quoting tools; the source describes increased new-policy business without a numeric uplift.

How an insurer launched a first-notice-of-loss portal in eight weeks

A major storm exposed the limits of handling first loss notifications and status questions through a busy call center. The insurer needed a new digital channel before the next hurricane season. The portal went live in eight weeks. During a subsequent hurricane, the source reports close to 2,700 claim-status visits alongside approximately 4,000 claims; the visits are not a count of unique people or a measured number of calls avoided.

How an insurer connected call-center coordination and field claims information

Manual spreadsheets and email made inbound-call coordination difficult, while different field-adjuster systems complicated claims information exchange during a major disaster. The team needed adaptable interfaces around existing systems. The source describes better visibility of call volume, routing and abandonment, plus a way to reformat field claim information for backend processing. A later consolidated portal and other projects were completed but still awaiting go-live in that account, rather than confirmed production outcomes.

How an insurance broker delivered ten applications while moving beyond legacy databases

More than fifty legacy databases and slow web-development options made flexible applications and international access difficult. The broker needed reusable foundations and a practical migration path. The source reports ten applications delivered over a two-year period, averaging about ten weeks each. It does not establish that every legacy database was retired; hardware savings from a future shutdown and additional integrations remained forward-looking.
