Transforming customer experience in the Insurance sector

Our key message is one of efficiency and productivity creating an enhanced customer experience. The technology is a core enabler, but our focus is helping insurers and brokers deliver value from their investments to deliver a class-leading customer experience.

Insurers across the country are currently facing a number of challenges

Speed of response has fallen, from an average 18 seconds in 2010 to
102 seconds today
Call centre agent productivity has been stagnant over the last
10 years, at around 55%
With more people leaving the insurance Contact Centre industry, a large skills gap is making it difficult to improve on these numbers

The Power of IPI and Avaya

IPI and Avaya demonstrate how technology can be used to address these challenges, and how existing investments can be leveraged to deliver the high-quality service levels that clients demand. The innovative solutions available to insurance companies and large brokers are largely non-disruptive, having been designed to work with legacy, as opposed to against it.

Innovation without disruption

Automation is top of the list. The majority of queries insurers receive from their customers are simple ones that can be automated.

Using AI to respond to these basic queries can be layered over existing processes very quickly providing real innovation without disruption.

Weighed down by legacy

The combination of emerging technology, changing customer expectations, regulatory pressure and a new modus operandi in the workplace means if ever there was a moment to grasp the nettle of delivering a great customer contact strategy, 2023-2024 is it.

“IPI is one of a small number of key suppliers that we’ve built a long-term partnership with – gaining its role as a trusted advisor due to its capability, innovation, openness and value delivered. We’ve benefited from IPI’s broad expertise across telecoms for a number of years, so when the time came for us to consider the next phase of our contact centre’s evolution, it was only natural to continue our relationship with the team. With a solid understanding of our business and our requirements in the on-premise world, IPI was the right choice to help us take our first steps into the cloud.”
