Billing
Regardless of your needs, we can help you implement a cost-effective billing solution. For one of our most successful clients, Capgemini provided an end-to-end solution to deliver a comprehensive billing and payment system. We deployed the system in under a year, providing simplicity and flexibility to support a positive customer service experience.
The architecture included a scalable billing system to support high-volume transactions associated with insurance policies, such as variable installment payments, electronic payments, credit card payments, refunds and amendments.
The business rules governing these billing processes are complex and can vary widely based on product type and state regulations. This problem was solved by abstracting the rules from the current system, improving them via user requirements, and implementing them with an easy-to-use engine tool.
Capgemini’s insurance consultants facilitate solution implementations by providing consulting, implementation and project management experience to mitigate risk and help ensure budget objectives are met during the implementation of software packages, rule engines and workflow packages.
Claims
With Claims being the most critical Insurer service component, efficient claims management is critical for achieving customer loyalty, increasing wallet share, and generating positive word-of-mouth. Yet a multitude of inefficiencies are driving up claims costs and adversely affecting customers’ claims experiences. Highly effective claims practices can be a key contributor to a differentiated customer experience that strengthens customer loyalty and attracts new customers. As a result, the market share increases as well as improving underwriting profits.
Improving claims processing, managing fraud, and leveraging claims data are the focal points for driving operational excellence according to the latest findings from the 2011 World Insurance Report.
Capgemini offers a business-driven, end-to-end claims transformation services that enables you to enhance your brand value and achieve sustainable growth. Our clients have benefited from the following typical results:
- Reduce claims cycle time by an average of 15 – 20%.
- Reduce total cost of ownership from 20 – 40%
- Achieve up to 5% reduction in loss adjustment expense
Capgemini provides front office optimization solutions to help distributors improve performance, agents sharpen their competitive edge, and insurers focus on customer loyalty and retention.

Policy Administration
The life insurance industry is undergoing significant consolidation. The growing focus on customer centricity, enhanced product development capabilities, and compliance with regulatory changes has forced companies to rethink well-entrenched policy administration processes. In an ever more competitive market where profit margins are under pressure and operational costs are increasing, opportunities to maximize product, operational or cost leadership lie in increasing policy administration efficiency and effectiveness.

Sales and Service Innovation
Predicting customer behavior and identifying opportunities is a difficult task to achieve without the right level of customer insight. The overabundance of data and lack of customer-specific business intelligence is inhibiting insurers today from effectively addressing their customers’ needs. Many insurers cannot effectively measure retention and, more importantly, they struggle to identify why their customers are leaving.
To address this, Capgemini has devised a holistic approach that goes beyond helping insurers extract knowledge and experience from their existing customer data. We also help you improve the quality of your data to expand and enhance your collection capability, and to synthesize your analysis of customer traits and trends.
Capgemini can help you create a highly specialized and segmented sales and services solutions that allows insurers to develop selective campaigns aimed at specific cross-sections of customers, through the most effective channels.

Our Underwriting Expertise
Capgemini can help you implement a cost-effective underwriting solution. For one of our most successful clients, we provided an underwriting rules engine solution which includes a business rule engine software tool that simplifies changes and support.
We built the system based on user requirements, which were defined using a reverse engineering approach. Capgemini created an architecture that included a scalable system to support the ever-increasing volume of applications due to geographical expansion.
The business rules governing underwriting processes are often difficult to address due to the number of manually imposed, outdated and complex rules. This problem was solved by abstracting the rules from the current system, improving them from user requirements and implementing them using an easy-to-use rules engine software tool.
