This report reflects the state of the industry technology investments, the business drivers, and the ongoing plans for specific projects for property/casualty personal lines insurers. Companion reports for P&C commercial lines and life/annuity are also available.
2018 Personal Lines Business and Technology Investments is based on a survey of 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. An example of the research data is shown in the figure below.
