Going by all its intricacies, technology, to a large extent, is delivering on what its pioneers and visionaries had promised: to ease almost every aspect of human endeavour.
Nov-29Can the emergence and importance of technology ever be disputed? Probably not. At least, it would be a challenging feat for whoever wishes to do so. Considering all its intricacies, technology is largely delivering on what its pioneers and visionaries had promised: to ease almost every aspect of human endeavor. This technology has achieved and is still achieving more in other sectors, including the insurance sector.
From the deployment of bottomry contracts operated during the early Asian and Greco-Roman eras for the management of maritime and shipping-related emergencies to the mid-1600s when the Great Fire of London gave rise to a number of companies created to protect properties against fire incidents, and the establishment of Lloyd’s of London which supplied merchants and bankers with underwriters, history has undeniably shown that the emergence of insurance was meant to provide a potent solution to the inescapable phenomena of risk. Thus, making it one of the most important industries in the world, and the advancement in providing this very important service cannot be understated.
Risk management services have evolved over time, and in contemporary times, they have improved in tandem with the level of development in technology. This is evident, especially in the deployment of insurance services to customers. Nowadays, there is a prevalent focus on customer satisfaction, data analysis, and simplified claims processing. Hence, technological tools such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, Data Analytical systems, and Field Management Service software are entrenched in the global practice and operations of insurance companies.
However, the insurance market of today has optimized to the level of attaining cost efficiency using technology. As such, players within the sector have transcended from their early basic functions of providing customer-related activities, handling inquiries, collecting data for predictive risk analysis, and boosting productivity to improve the quality of services.
NEM Insurance, Nigeria’s highly reputable insurance company, has distinguished itself in the business of risk management with a keen interest in customer satisfaction. Prioritizing the customer and meeting their ever-growing needs professionally with the aid of technology.
