Connected Planning in Insurance

The Insurance industry is undergoing massive transformation. Best interest regulations have already transformed the industry landscape to look towards customer-first accountability. Insurance accounting standards including IFRS 9 and 17 pose challenges for asset allocation, asset-liability management, business practices, and profitability drivers. Additionally, according to a recent EY study, 15-40% of today’s insurance firm expenses go towards distribution: intermediary, acquisition, technology fees. Distribution represents the largest concentration of innovations in Insurtech. With Anaplan, insurance carriers and distribution partners are connecting their finance, operation, and actuarial teams with their lines of business and product leaders to drive better insights and accelerate decision making.
