This paper illustrates an organization’s Digital Transformation process of their traditional underwriting method and highlights its challenges and solutions. A remodelling approach of processes via their automation and data integration is proposed and discussed in order to recognize the technological opportunities and objectives to be attained. Insurance business is contextualized and a deep description of the Digital Transformation objectives and technologies to be adopted for the organization’s remote underwriting process’ automation and Digital Transformation via data integration and artificial intelligence models’ deployment is provided. The different models and solutions being utilized for the several risk categories is underlined, with the aim being to ensure the transaction’s low operational costs and difficulty’s speediness, also leveraging on Digital Solutions to rule the traditional human coordinator figure, in charge to discuss with submitters and offer advices for risk size and quality.
In conclusion, the advantages of obtaining a Fully Digital & Autonomous solution for the Easy Risks are highlighted, whose key benefits would be the extremely low operational costs of technologically-driven processes being run 24/7, the negligible error rate, the response time of just a few seconds, the service galloping scalability without the need to hire personnel as the business speeds up during the growth phase, and the Intelligent Assistance & Easy Digital Interfaces being offered to support both the follow-up by the human Advisor and the Easy Digital Interface for both Brokers and Final Customers for queries and requests, ensuring an Human-Driven Quality Solution also when fully Digitalized. In such case, clear SLAs would determine the “unwritten rules” to govern the relationship between Sponsors of the Digital Process and its end-users, in order to avoid the mutual disappointment risk.
