The major evolution of the new release of PASS_Insurance Suite are mainly related in fact to the business innovation and compliance, beside some functional enhancements to enable a smarter approach to insurance business.

Business Innovation

Artificial Intelligence, natural language processing, advanced analytics and predictive models on Big Data are tech buzzwords that are greatly influencing the way an Insurer interact with a policyholder and with its partners. RGI integrated these new technologies within the new release of PASS_Insurance with 3 new add-on modules:

• Insurance Chatbot: an insurance virtual assistant to enable both customers (Business to Consumer approach) and intermediaries (Business to Business approach) to perform operations by asking questions in natural language and get answers. RGI developed the Insurance language engine in a joint research project with some major Universities focused on best-in-class Artificial Intelligence methodologies.
• Recommender system: Proposing to the customer the right product is crucial, that is why RGI has developed its own Insurance recommender system, a service to suggest to the customer some items he may have an interest in, exactly how it happens on e-commerce platforms and social networks. The benefits of the solution is that the Insurer can enhance the conversion of prospects to customers by capturing their needs in advance, and expand the customer proposition with up and Cross Selling initiatives
• PASS_Products Expert: RGI R&D department has released a first alpha version of a new system that will suppport Insurers in the pricing design. This first release enables Insurers to easily perform pricing simulation and customer segmentation in rate tables and, using past claims and portfolio data, to estimate the right price of policy according to the customer cluster.

Compliance

The European regulation scenario is rushing into new laws that recently came, or are about to come into effect. Some of them, as the GDPR, are affecting all businesses, insurance included. Others are specific for the market, such as the IDD (Insurance Distribution Directive) or the ATRD (Dynamic Risk Certificate). More in details:

• To be current with the new standards and compliant with the Italian Regulations concerning the ATR (Risk Certificate) management, RGI integrated PASS_Insurance with the regulatory changes by assigning a code to each insured vehicle, by designing specific procedures to manage flows of information to and from ANIA (National Association of Insurers) and by extending to 11 the years included into the claims table.
• To be compliant with the new GDPR European regulation, RGI enriched PASS_Insurance Suite with some new functionalities to comply to the requirements of data processing consent, also for children below the age of 16 years, right of access, right to be forgotten, the erasure of data according to law terms.
• To proactively deal with the IDD (Insurance Distribution Directive) that is foreseen to go into effect on October 2018, RGI has developed and integrated a tool, PASS_Products Evolution, that extends the already wide configuration capabilities of the product engine PASS_Products. PASS Products Evolution is in fact a complete end-to-end Product Administration System that allows Insurers to have the complete governance of an insurance product, from the design to the monitoring and review, as defined by the POG (Product Oversight Governance) requirements
