DIGITAL AGENDA: SELECTED PROJECTS FROM AGCS DATA ANALYTICS INVESTING IN TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE RISK ANALYSIS Praedicat Cyence Supply Chain Analysis Harnessing the power of big data predictive analytics to identify the liability risks of the future, AGCS is partnering with US-based Insurtech analytic company Praedicat Inc. The partnership will help clients understand potential emerging liability risks impacting their company through deep analysis of large volumes of peerreviewed scientific literature. Cyber risk is one of the least well analyzed and modelled risks of today, but AGCS is partnering with Cyence, the leading cyber risk analytics and modelling specialists, to accelerate and improve cyber pricing. By linking Cyence s powerful analytics tools to AGCS industry data, we will be able to tailor underwriting to better fit the needs of our clients from SMEs to the largest multinationals. Understanding the complex supply chain relationships is key to providing adequate insurance cover to corporate clients. That is why AGCS has developed various tools based on big data that allow to map and visualize the complex location networks as well as supplier relationships up to the fourth tier. These tools will enable us to identify exposures and accumulation issues and help us understand CBI risks better.
DIGITAL AGENDA: SELECTED PROJECTS FROM AGCS TECHNOLOGIES TO ENHANCE EFFICIENCY AND CUSTOMER SERVICES Blockchain AGCS is exploring the potential of the exciting Blockchain technology for the corporate insurance segment. AGCS line of business Alternative Risk Transfer has successfully trialed this technology by creating a prototype solution for the existing captive insurance program of a global client. Another pilot demonstrated the benefits of Blockchain for transacting a natural catastrophe swap. Robotic Process Automation AGCS is developing robotic process automation bots to perform repeatable rules based tasks such as data entry and extraction or policy administration, benefitting customers and AGCS with faster turnaround times and exceptional quality standards at reduced cost. With the first phase of more than 40 robots currently planned, the first are already active, and the remaining to be released in Q1 2018. So far, bots are cutting normal processing time by around 90% compared to manual entry with a zero error rate. Claims technology At AGCS, we understand that with the rise of new technologies and innovation, our customers expect greater speed, ease of service and personalization when it comes to claims handling. That is why we are trialing numerous initiatives and projects around new technology and data analytics in order to transform our claims customer journey. Current pilots include a live stream loss adjusting app, drones services and aerial information platform, a digital defense lawyer toolkit, a thermographic imaging initiative as well as a chat bot project.
