Abstract

Twenty-five Model Insurer Components are described in this fifth annual edition, and Celent’s Model Insurer of the Year is named.

In a new report, Celent Model Insurer 2011: Case Studies of Effective Technology Use in Insurance, Celent recognizes 25 insurance technology initiatives as “Model Insurer Components.” The report also names Farmers Insurance the Model Insurer of the Year. These best practices in the use of technology span key areas of the product and policyholder lifecycle, including product definition, distribution, underwriting, policy administration, service, claims, and infrastructure. The report also reviews IT best practices and measurable business results used in evaluating the Model Insurer Components.

“One common theme for many of the projects profiled in this year’s report is the emphasis on top-line growth,” says Mike Fitzgerald, Senior Analyst with Celent’s Insurance Group and author of the report. “Insurers are looking to technology to enter new markets, or to address new segments within existing ones.”
