The insurance industry has traditionally been known for its slow, manual processes. But with the advent of new technologies, there is a growing trend towards digitisation and automation in the industry. In South Africa, underwriting management is undergoing a digital transformation, and new technology in the market disrupts the way things are done.
One of the biggest changes in underwriting management is the move towards automated underwriting. This involves using machine learning and artificial intelligence to assess risk and make underwriting decisions. Automating this process allows underwriting to be done more quickly, accurately and with less human intervention.
Digital platforms are also changing the way underwriting management is done. These platforms allow underwriters to access information and complete tasks quickly and easily. They provide customers with a more streamlined experience by enabling them to access information and make payments online.

Data analytics is another area where technology is making a significant impact in underwriting management. Data analytics can help underwriters identify trends and patterns that they may not have seen otherwise. This can help them to make more informed underwriting decisions and improve their overall risk management.
Blockchain technology is having a notable impact on the underwriting management industry. Blockchain can be used to store and share data between different parties securely which can help to reduce fraud and increase trust in the underwriting process.
