Overcoming Business Process Challenges Of Insurance Industry
Overview:
The stiff competitive landscape of Property and Casualty insurance companies has led them to deeply analyze their existing data they can transform into meaningful information. The information can turn into knowledge and knowledge into actionable plans. P&C carriers realize that this data which is lying in diverse systems throughout their enterprise can play an important role in the entire insurance value chain.
Unlike other industries that produces new finished products, the raw material and finished product for insurance companies are one and the same information. A printed insurance policy is merely a representation of a pure information transaction even though with major financial implications. Because the industry is completely information based, and information has historically been recorded on paper, terminology like holding paper or writing policies is still common today.
A large number of P&C carriers are ignorant of the enterprise-wide management of all the content received from clients, agents, and supplierswhether by paper, fax, email, telephone, audio, video or the Internet. Even if the company has determined how to manage the information on their disparate legacy systems, much of the processing of this information is subject to manual intervention and interpretation. Delays in processing can increase the likelihood of litigation, decrease the opportunity to settle and cause an increase in waiting costs such as the storage and loss of control of a repair facility.
The objective of the whitepaper is to address the top challenges insurance companies face today and how a document centric business process management solution can streamline the existing process followed by the insurance companies.
Challenges:
P&C Insurance companies are realizing that the data captured in documents can play an important role in the entire insurance value chain. The data along with documents needs to be moved from different business systems to a Document Management System for easy storage, indexing and retrieval process. The task can be difficult because the data is embedded in a assortment of heterogeneous forms and exists in numerous formats. A data quality regimen that helps guarantee the quality of data as it passes through all the components of data validation is critical.
In order for insurance carriers to get the status of what is in their documents sets and determine whether these sets really display the characteristics that should be included, a process termed as data profiling must be employed. Data profiling is an analytic process that has the sole objective of sifting through data for the purpose of developing a thorough understanding of the content, structure and quality of data.
Poor quality of data adversely affects the business operations. It can impede the internal business processes that occur within an organization and the external process that take place between business and its customers. Taking a closer look at what constitutes data quality, it can be defined as the process of standardizing, correcting and verifying the data.
