AUSIS – AI Based Dynamic and Personalized Risk Underwriting Automation Platform by Artivatic

Bangalore, Karnataka, India: Insurance businesses asses risk by means of rules, and understanding for every new application that needs insurance. This practice is going on for decades. This is fair practice to apply set of rules to assess the risk and provide acceptance/rejection decision.

As the insurance industry undergoes a mammoth shift, the effects are being felt across every major process. Companies have made large-scale investments in modernizing and evolving claims and processing platforms. Underwriting being a crucial function in evaluating and analysing the company’s financial performance is increasingly gaining the traction of businesses.

The need for a process evolution with market dynamics evolving at a rapid pace, let’ have a close look at the key factors propelling the insurance industry to advance their underwriting function:

Rise in data: 80% of the data received by underwriters is unstructured, residing in the form of emails, PDFs, forms, and images. Extracting meaningful information from these data sources and documents proves to be a herculean task. It dials down the efficiency of the underwriting team while increasing the processing time and potentially weakening risk assessment. Not only structural data but also using 3rd party data like environmental, social, digital, location, govt. databases, crime data, sanitation, health devices etc are challenge to the existing underwriting system to dynamically build underwriting models.

Higher customer expectations: With the advent of new technologies, the display of an omnichannel (or channel-agnostic) behaviour by customers has become prominent. Insurers are compelled to deploy digitally adept methods to set new benchmarks of quality and keep up with customer expectations. They require ways to minimize the customer waiting time that consumes at least 95% of the insurance application processing time. The current systems lacks of personalized premium, benefits and coverages.

The average insurer has 10 to 14 core systems installed. One multinational insurer had more than 80 core systems. This complexity means creates processes too slow, and chances of innovation reduces. Estimates vary, but it is not uncommon for insurers to spend up to 80% of their IT budget on maintaining legacy systems.

Reasons to transform

At its heart, underwriting is a decision-making process bound by time and information. And like any assessment process, depriving underwriters of the time they need to apply their knowledge and insights is to risk selection, and pricing often leads to suboptimal choices that manifest through an adverse claims experience.

In addition to making better underwriting decisions, efficient processes also benefit the ultimate decision maker: the customer. Transparent, simple, seamless processes and better-quality decisions all increase customer satisfaction, whether it’s for the end customer or the insurance broker who influences their decisions.
