The Real Problems Insurance Leaders Face Today

Being a leader in an insurance company can be tough. You want your company to be modern and save money, but you’re stuck with old computer systems and messy information. These old systems make simple tasks slow and difficult, especially when a customer signs up to when a claims process is finished.

This isn’t just a computer problem. It also affects the people who work for you.

  • When paperwork comes in messy, your underwriters have to spend a lot of time fixing it by hand.
  • It’s hard to find and keep good people on your team, and these slow jobs make the problem worse.
  • Leaders often feel stressed trying to keep up, and this can make your team tired and less focused.
 

Because of these problems, it’s hard to look like a modern company. The idea of using underwriting analytics and data analytics in underwriting sounds good, but many leaders worry about things like losing control, keeping customer information safe, and if an outside company would really understand their business. The best solution is to find a partner who can help you use this data to get real results.

What is Underwriting Analytics? A Simple Way to Understand It

For an operations leader, underwriting analytics is not a confusing idea. It’s a useful tool to make your business run better. At its heart, analytics in insurance underwriting is about using all your different data sources—both old and new—to make smarter choices in the underwriting process. It means using predictive analytics and special predictive models to look at risk, handle small tasks for your team, and help them make better, faster decisions.

It’s important to know the difference between a real partner and just a simple software product. Many companies in the market fall into one of two groups:

  • They sell only one product: Some companies, like FRISS, sell a single software tool to make things faster. This can be helpful, but it doesn’t solve the bigger problems of having enough people or dealing with old processes.
  • They write complicated papers: Other companies, like RGA, write detailed, hard-to-read articles about data analytics and underwriting that are more like a school paper. These don’t give you simple, easy steps to follow to get real results.
 

The best use of underwriting analytics is to help people, not replace them. A good partner can take care of the high-volume, simple jobs. This lets your own underwriters focus on the hard risk assessment jobs that need their special skills. This approach helps your team feel more important and skilled, which also helps with the fear of people losing their jobs.

Your Partner in Modernization: How We Solve Your Problems

A good partner in underwriting data analytics must fix the main problems that keep leaders worried. FOCUS’s way of doing things helps with the most common fears about outsourcing and gives you clear solutions.

Working With Your Old Systems

A big worry for leaders is that they’ll have to get rid of their old computer systems to get new help. It can be very expensive and cause a lot of problems to switch everything over.

Our System-Agnostic Integration takes away this worry. We work with your current computer systems without causing problems. This means we use your existing tools, so you don’t need to spend time and money on a big technology change. 

As proof, we helped a client with a big computer project and made a job that usually takes 3-6 months get done in just one week. This shows that we can work with your insurance data and old systems to make things better.

Growing Your Business Without Hiring More People

It can be hard to have enough people on your team, especially when you have a lot of work to do all at once, like after a big storm. You need to grow your company without having to hire a lot of new people.

Our Flexible, Scalable Partnership Model is a great solution. We can give you more help when you’re busy, like after a disaster, and we don’t make you sign long-term contracts. We want to be a partner you trust, not just a company you’re stuck with. 

We have helped during 17 big storms since 1992, which shows we know how to enable insurance companies to handle a lot of work. Our team of over 300 experts in the U.S., including 75 licensed agents, is ready to help with big jobs.
