Why might I want to use Intersys’ services?
Research suggests 74% of insurance companies still use outdated, legacy technology for pricing, rating and underwriting. Meanwhile, 63% of senior managers acknowledged that there was a digital skills gap in their teams.
Insurance is particularly vulnerable to cyber crime, proving a lucrative goldmine of sensitive information for criminals. A ‘banana skins’ survey commissioned by PWC revealed cyber crime was the top concern.
