Benefits of BPM for insurance Company

1. Improve profitability & lower expense ratios: Process automation leads to significant cost savings due to reduction in manual effort, elimination of unnecessary tasks, and so an overall increase in operational efficiencies. BPM deployed on an enterprise-wide scale helps companies increase profits and improve their business performance, thus making them potential candidates for better financial ratings.
2. Improve customer service and agent management: Business Process Management (BPM) allows insurance companies to automate flow of information, notifications, and alerts with agents and customers, thus allowing better and more up-to-date access to information. BPM speeds up processes, reduces lag time, and ensures that tasks do not fall through the cracks.
3. Deliver superior underwriting results: Business Process Management (BPM) makes it possible for insurance companies to standardize on a common underwriting process. Each division can use different rules but access the common process, thus allowing for better control and monitoring. Underwriting personnel can concentrate on knowledge-based functions of their roles and return better results
4. Increase productivity: BPM enables seamless integration of workflow tasks with back-end systems, thus removing the need for mundane tasks such as manual reconciliation, visual data verification, and typing-based data entry. Process automation and integration also improves the agents’ productivity, giving them another reason to align with a carrier besides price or increased commissions.
5. Create system and process flexibility and agility: Business Process Management (BPM) allows companies to respond quickly to changes in business demand, new opportunities, and regulatory requirements
6. Create process transparency and integrity: BPM starts with the documentation and formalization of business tasks and rules, thus reducing dependence on a few, key employees. Key business rules or decisions can be made consistent and repetitive by specifying them in the processes, thus enforcing policies and procedures. For publicly traded companies, this is a key control mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation.
7. Enable continuous process improvement: BPM allows processes and rules to be optimized because they can be monitored and refined, thus leading to improvement in competitive advantage. This is not possible when processes are manual
8. Align IT execution with business strategy: Business Process Management (BPM) helps create a partnership between business and IT. Business users, analysts, and IT staff can work collaboratively to define requirements and implement processes that are critical to the business success. IT becomes more responsive to business needs by deploying and changing processes very rapidly, while facilitating a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach to enterprise IT
