JMR, an insurance industry platform provider, is participating in the upcoming COVER TechFest2023. Dane Richard, the CEO of JMR, highlights the need to engage with peers, share insights and contribute views on technological innovations within the industry.
JMR’s participation in TechFest highlights the value of engaging with peers and sharing insights to understand technological innovations in the insurance industry. Dane will be participating in a panel discussion focused on client communications. He highlights three areas in client communications management specifically; personalized communications, AI and automation, and cloud migration, emphasising the importance of innovation in this field.
According to Dane, document automation is one area where technology can benefit the insurance industry. By automating repetitive tasks such as policy generation and claims processing, insurance companies can free up their employees to focus on higher value tasks, such as customer service and relationship building. This can lead to faster turnaround times and greater customer satisfaction.
However, it is important to note that automation should not come at the expense of personalized communication with clients. As he highlights, there is a big drive towards personalized communications in the insurance industry, as it can help businesses build stronger relationships with their customers. By tailoring their communications to the specific needs and preferences of each individual client, businesses can show that they understand and care about their customers, which can go a long way in building trust and loyalty.
AI and natural language processing tools can also play a valuable role in client communications management, by helping to automate tasks such as email and chatbot responses, while still maintaining a personalized touch. By using AI to analyse customer data, businesses can also gain insights into customer preferences and behaviour, which can help them better tailor their communications and products to their customers’ needs.

Cloud migration is also increasingly important in the insurance industry, as businesses seek to align their infrastructure to support innovation in client communications management. By migrating their systems to the cloud, businesses can benefit from greater flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. This can help them to better manage their communications with clients and respond quicker to changing market conditions.
However, as Dane acknowledges, the adoption of omnichannel models and the drive towards achieving a single customer view can also present complications. Omnichannel models, which allow customers to interact with businesses across multiple channels, can be difficult to manage and may require significant investment in technology and training. Similarly, achieving a single customer view, which involves consolidating all customer data into a single, unified profile, can be a complex and time-consuming process.
He raises the fact that, while there are many exciting technological innovations that can enhance client communications management in the insurance industry, it is important for businesses to approach these changes carefully and thoughtfully.
Dane concludes that, by balancing automation with personalized communication, and leveraging technologies such as AI and cloud migration, businesses can improve their customer relationships and better meet the needs of their clients.
