Aon, a global professional services firm, announced the launch of its Pricing Platform, a software solution that aims to provide insurers with a competitive advantage through better risk selection and meaningful analytics to drive company performance.
Launched by Aon’s Strategy and Technology Group, the Pricing Platform allows insurers’ in-house teams to rapidly develop tailored workflows for underwriting all classes of commercial insurance and reinsurance business.
Key stakeholders benefit from adopting the Pricing Platform, incuding:
- Underwriters can access the data they need at their fingertips through system integration.
- Actuaries can build and update models swiftly to react to market changes.
- Executive managers can access near real-time portfolio information.
- IT teams can handle other value-add activities as Aon hosts the platform.
Forward-thinking insurance companies are driving the economy by protecting businesses, governments and communities. To meet shareholder and societal demands, while delivering sustained growth and profitability in a competitive landscape, insurers need the resilience and capacity to embrace increasing current and future risks.
However, as the industry faces a tipping point, this requires more efficient, flexible and resilient enterprise structures to drive strong financial health.
Accurate technical pricing is key to insurers’ operational performance and profitability, informing better decisions in an environment of macroeconomic volatility and subdued investment returns. It is vital not only for business planning, but also in ensuring the front-line implementation of an insurer’s business plan.
