Industry Solutions › Insurance
Insurers compete in a volatile environment. Regulatory pressures are mounting; customers are fickle; shareholders demand healthy growth and fat margins. These trends create challenges for your business communications and document-intensive business processes:
Challenge #1: Managing your geographically-disbursed distribution channels
Insurance is often sold by a far-flung network of agents, each of whom requires forms, marketing collateral and other documents. Your challenge is to maintain corporate branding and messaging requirements while allowing agents to customize documents in accordance with local or personal needs.
How GDS can help:
We'll help you deploy a Web-to-print portal that provides secure, 24/7 access to key documents, regardless of source. The user-friendly interface allows agents and other authorized stakeholders to customize documents for local distribution or personalize them for individual recipients, while conforming to corporate branding and messaging standards, as well as regulatory requirements.
Challenge #2: Handling increased transaction volumes
Whether it's terrorist activities or natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, insurers have seen a sharp rise in transactions, communications and costs. Disasters trigger the need for an immediate response, resulting in overwhelming volumes of document production and delivery.
How GDS can help:
GDS will help you streamline document-intensive processes so you print only what you need, when you need it. We'll also help speed up delivery of documents, reduce warehousing and obsolescence costs, and lower exposure to regulatory liability. With our expertise in workflow enhancement, document archiving, custom-tailored data management solutions, and distribution strategies, we'll help you manage high volumes and fast turnarounds while keeping costs low.
Challenge #3: Staying ahead of the competition
Customers are using the Internet to compare and purchase insurance products. Banks and brokerages are flooding into the insurance space. In the face of intense competition, insurers must deliver effective, targeted communications that resonate with prospects and clients.
How GDS can help:
Full-color, high-quality documents and 1-to-1 communications get the attention of your target audience, enabling greater comprehension and increasing response rates. In addition to traditional statements, reports and notices, we'll help you add flair to virtually any marketing effort, with high-impact, data-driven brochures, newsletters and inserts.
