Its second use case is around trade finance, and a solution which helps banks and corporates network together into a single distributed ledger to minimise fraud and improve transparency.

AI/Machine Learning

These solutions will be helping with visual risk, with machine learning helping to analyse 70+ data sources and providing risk analytics. Use cases also include for underwriter scoring, utilising historic and real-time policy data, and predictive modelling to help underwriters prioritise accounting onboarding.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

This accelerator is focused a range of automation processes with a customisable suite of pluggable insurance components.

Mobile Solutions

These solutions will enable insurers to tap into functionalities built into mobile phones to help improve the customer experience.

Customer Experience Design

Solutions from this accelerator help insurance companies to transform their business to create and transform customer user experience, designed through direct to customer or insurance broker strategies.

Internet of Things (IoT)

IoT technology give insurers the ability to collect a host of data, which can be combined with other technology to improve solutions. An example of the potential use for these products are an insurer using drones to access a real-time damage assessment related to natural catastrophes, to help anticipate future claims.
