This report, part of SMA’s annual Insurance Ecosystem Research Series, reflects the state of the industry technology investments, the business drivers, and the ongoing plans for specific projects for property and casualty (personal and commercial lines) and life and annuity insurers. The report and insights are based on a survey of 105 North American insurance business and technology executives and our ongoing observations from SMA’s advisory and consulting engagements with insurers.
For insurers, the data points and insights presented are useful for tracking IT spending against industry trends, examining priorities, and monitoring the pulse of technology investments. For IT solution providers, the data and accompanying observations on insurers’ spending patterns and buying behaviors yield useful information for setting product development roadmaps and refining marketing strategies and priorities. The figure below from the report identifies the top drivers for IT investment by company size.
