product or a service; it is about
selling an experience.

they stick to traditional methods of servicing customers. They need to
adopt a digital engagement strategy to enhance the user experience and
provide personalized services & offerings. In this article we will look at
how digital engagement can revolutionize the way insurance industry
works.
What is Digital Engagement?
If you look at businesses today, you will see that both assets and
content are increasingly digital. They consist of audio, video, text
and interactive elements and are consumed via multiple channels
such as mobile, desktop, tablet and also in-store. Digital
engagement is all about creating a compelling, consistent and a
contextual way of personalizing and delivering the overall
experience of the user. The market today demands intimacy and
synchronization across channels in order to provide personalized
and seamless experiences to customers. Customers today interact
with businesses via multiple channels and expect their experience
to pick up where the last interaction left off. This is what digital
engagement aims to achieve.

3. What Customers expect from
Insurers?
• Simplicity.
• Access across every channel.

information.
• Innovative services tailored to
the digital age.
An Omni-channel experience
• Insurers need to offer robust
transactional capabilities that
are consistent across all
channels.

start the conversation with a
financial advisor, make a
purchase on the phone and
then complete the transaction
using the computer.
The role of Digital Engagement in Insurance Industry
There was a time when customer engagement in the insurance
sector was tantamount to prompt claim settlement, but now the
expectations are much higher. With the arrival of digital
technologies like social media, smartphones and connected
homes, insurance players are being required to move on from
being just conventional. There are players who have already
jumped on to the digital engagement bandwagon and are now
leveraging technology to understand customers’ lifestyle and
create customized coverage that suits their needs.
Let us have a look at some of the ways Digital Engagement can
benefit insurance players.

purchasing policies and reviewing benefits.

collecting information in a faster and efficient manner for the
purpose of claim management.

sources & also eliminate redundant paper work.
• Enable self-service for customers by integrating disparate
systems of records into a seamless user experience which
