Future of Insurance
Alongside the numerous opportunities that the industry will need to take advantage of, the challenges it needs to address and tackle can be summed up in four different themes:
Challenges
Different generations of consumers have different behaviours and needs and insurers need to understand how different customers behave in order to offer them more relevant services to their unique needs.
The relationship between consumers and insurers hasn’t been a good one for as long as insurers exist, and this is a lose-lose situation. For generations, this cycle has been a very accurate description of insurance, and it is time to break it.
With advanced analytics and technology such as big data, insurers can have access to real-time data on their customers which opens up an opportunity to access their customers’ life, habits and health statistics.
The potential of cyber-attacks and threats is growing with every year that goes by. But this may also present an opportunity since individuals and businesses may be willing to buy insurance that covers losses that originate from cyber-attacks.

According to Blockchain 101, the five key benefits of the technology include better transparency, enhanced security, reduced costs, traceability, and finally, speed and efficiency.

Because it is a relevant and emotional experience in life that makes a difference at the end of the day. And it is with this clear vision that we guide our strategic choices in technology with Médis.
