Insurance telematics: A game-changing opportunity – Accenture

Article Synopsis :

To acquire new customers and retain  existing ones, motor insurance carriers need to differentiate themselves in terms of product offering, risk pricing and claims handling. Maturing telematics technologies and devices are driving the evolution of usage-based insurance and provide a solution for product differentiation, better risk management and enhanced claims experience that aligns with individual driver profiles.

1. Quick and agile pilots that enable continuous improvement
2. A detailed understanding of the source of sustainable ROI in the short- and long-term
3. Clearly developed and flexible propositions that will engage different customer segments, and drive value for end-customers, agents and brokers
