                      The Change Trick - Delivering PolicyCenter and ClaimCenter    Jayne Sayer, Programme Manager Guidewire
                      to all Levels of the Organisation                                                           Commercial Transformation, Aviva UK

Selling Guidewire PolicyCenter and ClaimCenter to Aviva’s operational teams was easy. In technology terms, they had spent years working with the equivalent of a dial-up phone with a crank handle. Managing the expectations of hungry executives who wanted to maximize ROI was another matter. In this session, Aviva will tell the story of how they managed the “change curve” at all levels of their business and ended up tantalizingly close to unlocking the potential of digital and analytics. This session will illustrate:

The real opportunity to transform operations (service, accuracy, efficiency, and foundations for digital and analytics)
How to ensure ROI and future-proof further development
How to manage the change in role of the claims handler (adjuster)
What this new foundation means for the adjuster’s role as Aviva begins to embrace decision support tools driven from analytics and automation

You’ll come away with a better understanding of how to initiate a PolicyCenter project even while you’re waiting to staff and launch a full implementation project.

2:00 pm Roundtable discussions

Topic 1 : Enabling Customer Self Service and Automation

Customers expect a seamless experience when they interact with their Insurance matters including the option to self-serve online or through mobile Apps and switch seamlessly between voice and digital communication media. Insurers, Agents and Claims Management companies need to find effective ways to join up core Policy and Claims Administration systems with off-application web-Portals, Mobile Apps, Vendor systems and Analytics engines. We’ll explore the different approaches companies are taking and the learnings. How do we build flexibility to adapt and evolve without creating a complex web of systems and tools?

Topic 2 : Future of Claims

The management of claims has already been transformed because of advances in technology. The nature and type of claims will continue to evolve and transform, however, because of:

M2M Transaction: Driverless cars, the deployment of telematics devices and the growth of data transmission from home appliances to building and bridges.
Personalisation
Data Analytics (hindsight, insight and foresight).

The discussion is focused on underlying technology claims management platforms. Where are the synergies combining technology and operations to manage the next generation of transformation and how do we enable it?
