Cognizant whitepaper: Google Glass could soon transform how insurers work and engage with customers, from claims adjusters and risk engineers connecting in real-time with the home office, to service reps guiding customers through the claims submission process
Teaneck, NJ (Feb. 3, 2014) – It seems we are only just getting used to “mobile” technology. We are still adjusting our work habits and company policies and processes to the features that smart phones and tablets have brought to the workplace. Have you resolved employee WIFI access and the BYOB issues in your business, let alone changed your workflows and processes where appropriate to take advantage of them?
Technology doesn’t stand still. Driverless or autonomous cars are capturing a lot of media attention, but are only part of the larger mobility opportunities surfacing in the transportation field. The implications for insurance are significant, with some arising now and many more sure to follow.
The whole wearables aspect of computing and communicating is another hot topic. Google Glass, for example, has moved from “gee whiz” to reality in what seems a very short time. Have you thought about the implications for insurers?
Cognizant has published “Google Glass: Insurance’s Next Killer App?” (PDF), authoured by Mike Kim, a panelist at the 2013 Insurance-Canada.ca P&C Technology Conference. The whitepaper looks at this technology now and where it may be headed. Mike and team present a fascinating perspective on how it may be used as a tool by people in the industry – think first about people doing underwriting inspections or loss examination, and go from there. Or go further and think about how it presents a potential new way of dealing with customers, perhaps at the time of loss.
