A new report by the research and advisory firm, Novarica, shows that commercial insurance carriers are modernizing policy administration systems and agent portals to support complexities of business. Novarica also says use of drones, internet of things (IoT), and mobile technology is increasing among commercial insurers.
“Commercial insurance is a business characterized by complex coverages, heterogeneous exposures and risks, and individually negotiated and priced contracts,” Martina Conlon, senior vice president of Research and Consulting at Novarica and co-author of the report, said in the company’s announcement. “It is important for commercial lines carriers to have the appropriate systems, particularly policy administration systems and agent portals, to not only support these complexities, but to also enable the primary objective of growth.”
