The evolution of business technology: What it means for the insurance industry

18/03/2025

The future of business technology is rapidly evolving, with concepts such as AI agents and automation sparking significant interest across industries. The potential move away from traditional models, like SaaS (Software as a Service), isn’t just a topic for the tech industry—it’s set to reshape how businesses, including insurers, operate and innovate.

AI agents: Redefining business operations

AI-powered agents, designed to learn, adapt, and anticipate user needs, are becoming key players in this shifting landscape. Unlike traditional software, these agents can analyse data, predict outcomes, and perform tasks autonomously, providing organisations with a smarter and more bespoke way to operate.

For insurance companies, these advancements could lead to:

1. Dynamic risk assessments: AI agents could transform underwriting and risk evaluation by processing customer data and external trends in real-time. This would enable insurers to offer policies that are more personalised and precise, ensuring fairness and relevance for clients.

2. Customer-centric interactions: Automated agents could manage routine customer queries while seamlessly directing complex issues to human representatives. This would enhance customer experiences while allowing employees to focus on relationship-building and strategic tasks.

3. Streamlined operations: Automation and self-learning systems could reduce time-intensive administrative tasks, improving efficiency and cutting operational costs—freeing up resources for more innovative projects.

Broader technological shifts affecting the industry

The concept of moving beyond SaaS doesn’t just focus on AI agents; it’s also linked to other emerging technologies, such as:

✅ Machine learning and predictive analytics: By integrating these tools with AI agents, insurers can shift from reactive operations to proactive services, predicting customer needs and market trends.

✅ Cloud and hybrid platforms: These systems enable insurers to scale operations more effectively while maintaining secure data storage.

✅ API-driven eco-systems: Open platforms and ecosystems allow insurers to collaborate with fintech or insurtech firms, delivering seamless customer journeys and new product offerings.

Challenges to address

While the potential benefits of AI and advanced technologies are exciting, the road ahead isn’t without challenges:

✅ Workforce adaptation: Employees may need to upskill to work effectively alongside AI systems, which could pose a steep learning curve for many organisations.

✅ Data privacy and security: With AI agents handling vast amounts of sensitive data, insurers must ensure compliance with regulations and maintain customer trust.

✅ Integration costs: Transitioning from legacy systems to AI-enabled platforms requires a significant investment of time and money.

Adapting for the future

The insurance sector stands on the brink of an era that prioritises smarter, more intuitive technology. To remain competitive, organisations must embrace change by investing in the right tools, maintaining a balance between technology and a human touch, and focusing on customer needs at every stage.
