Tel Aviv, Israel – New Delhi, India: Tech Mahindra has announced its collaboration with an Israel-based insuretech startup Atidot.
The collaboration will provide AI enabled platform to increase profitability for insurance companies by predicting customer behavior, lapse patterns and improve their cross-sell as well as up-sell capabilities.
Israeli startup Atidot offers predictive analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools for the life insurance and annuity companies.
The solution brings new benefits to life insurance policyholders. It offers policies that are more appropriate, have better coverage as well as protect retirement savings.
It will also empower insurance providers to assess coverage needs and remedy under or over-insured policies in a timely and responsible manner.
For life insurance providers, the solution will help them effectively capitalize on revenue potential – be it addressing and correcting underinsured policies to increase premium collection, leading better customer engagement, and reducing lapse rates thereby maximizing the number of profitable policies for the provider.
“Tech Mahindra’s collaboration with Atidot will help deliver innovative, cutting edge solutions to the global insurance industry in big data & analytics, powered by insurance specific artificial intelligence and machine language capabilities,” said Gautam Bhasin, Global Head – Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI), Tech Mahindra.
Atidot’s AI and ML-powered algorithms utilize anonymized data to generate nano-segments of actionable insurance risk behavior based on modeling the interaction between the customer and the policy. These insights enable providers to generate top-line revenue by identifying policies with potential for upsell or cross-sell, improve retention rates, reassign orphan policies, and to optimize their books of business by generating real-time visibility of their risk portfolio.
Real-time visibility into risk portfolios enables executives to get a better understanding of current lapse rates and surrenders, empowers them to reconfigure pricing and product bundling, and to objectively and scientifically determine the accurate reserves and capital requirements for the company.
“Insurance companies are in the midst of a revolution, with the value of data surpassing that of gold and oil. Insurance companies that want to stay relevant must become digitally savvy and embrace data-driven solutions. But it is not an easy process,” said Dror Katzav, CEO and Co-Founder, Atido.
“The first step to becoming data-driven is to start generating actionable insights, and only then to start reshaping business processes to efficiently monetize the insights in hand with the appropriate designed IT infrastructure, all while keeping in line with the stringent privacy and data security requirements in the insurance industry,” added Katzav.
“Tech Mahindra is a leading provider for digital transformation and change management, and by combining Tech Mahindra’s positioning and capabilities with Atidot’s Artificial Intelligence will be pivotal for insurance providers and the industry,” he added Flsaid Dror Katzav, CEO and Co-Founder, Atido.
