QBE North America will receive an Impact Award from the Novarica Insurance Technology Research Council, a peer community of hundreds of insurer CIOs. More than ninety CIO council members reviewed more than 60 case studies in three divisions to select the winners for the 10th annual awards.
QBE developed an API marketplace that enables straight-through processing, automated claims adjuster assignments, omni-channel experience, and new business channels. Delivered in 9 months, the project led to 36% transaction growth in quote/bind and saved $3.1M via API reusability.
“Integration and connectivity are major challenges for many insurers, and they can limit how much value new technologies can create within an organization if they’re not created effectively,” says Matthew Josefowicz, President/CEO of Novarica and moderator of the Council.
“We are honored to recognized by our insurance technology peers in the Novarica Research Council,” adds Ketan Pandit, CIO for QBE North America. “The API marketplace has been a key part of our modernization efforts to improve connectivity and service for customers and work more efficiently. Its adaptability and reusability will continue to pay dividends in the years ahead, and we are very proud of the large team that made the project a success.”
QBE’s case study, along with case studies of eleven other winners and more than 50 additional cases considered for Impact Awards, was published this week in Novarica’s 10th Annual Impact Case Study Compendium, online at https://novarica.com/impact/. Novarica has published nearly 300 case studies through this program since 2012.
About the Novarica Impact Awards
The Novarica Research Council Impact Awards are the largest purely peer-juried awards in insurance technology. CIO council members vote annually to recognize the efforts of their peers to use technology to drive business value in digital, data/analytics, core systems, and IT operations. No vendors, consultants, journalists, or members of the Novarica team participate in the selection committee, making the Novarica Impact Awards distinctive in being a purely peer-juried award.
The Novarica Insurance Technology Research Council is a free, moderated, knowledge-sharing community of more than 400 insurer CIOs and senior executives. In addition to recognizing successful initiatives through the Impact Awards, members participate in anonymized studies and private, vendor-free events.
