Insurance Companies and Process Consulting

There are many benefits of process consulting. Insurance companies are no different than other businesses in their ability to derive value from process consulting services. Increasingly firms are looking to process consulting outsourcing to optimize and gain efficiencies. Valenta provides these services, and we work with many companies in the insurance sector. Besides optimization, our insurance clients frequently engage process consulting services to launch documentation, digital transformation and cost cutting initiatives.

Specific Challenges for Insurance Companies

Insurance companies face many challenges in today’s economy. Insurance is still a vital, important, and dynamic business that almost every consumer requires in some way. Staffing is one challenge companies in this sector face.  Because of labor shortages and the costs for staffing, businesses need to make sure they maximize the productivity of the staff they do have. Improving back office efficiency helps with productivity and drives better overall profitability.

Other Challenges Facing the Insurance Space

In addition to the challenges mentioned above, insurance companies face a plethora of other market challenges.  There is increased choice for consumers on where to get their insurance. There are new entrants, digital only entrants, plus vertical integration from manufacturers, retailers and other service providers offering their own insurance options. There is also considerable M&A activity in the space. One theme we see over and over again is that digitization equals globalization. Today a competitor may not be on the other side of the city.  Frequently, they are on the other side of the world.

There are numerous challenges of being an SMB in the insurance space.
