• They help carriers improve customer experience, lower cost, and helping with the move from Repair & Replace to Predict & Prevent
• Carriers are very focused on improving customer experience right now, especially from changes that had to be made during COVID; how can we lower the cost of claims; attracting and retaining the next generation of employees
• The future needs to be easy and valuable, where having the insurance is just a given when you're getting all this other value
• What do core system modernization, being cloud-enabled and digital mean?
• The industry is getting better at using data, but how could we use data across industries, like manufacturing data in workers compensation and workplace safety; thinking about smart city or device technology and property insurance?
• It's about knowing your customer at a deeper level to build a differentiated relationship, not just so you can sell them something else
