Underwriting Maturity Framework: Moving from a process-driven to a data-driven operating model
In this data-driven world, there is an opportunity to not only improve underwriting efficiencies, but to fundamentally transform what underwriters do.
The underwriting evolution has shifted away from focusing on process and cost to now harnessing that investment and marrying it with highly accessible third-party data. This allows for deeper underwriting insights to better inform risk selection, exposure analysis and pricing.

How insurers are using underwriter workbenches in 2024
Two thirds of underwriters say they cannot get all the data and information they need to make risk decisions quickly and efficiently, according to Intelligent Insurer and Send. Underwriters spend 40% of their time on administrative tasks, according to an Accenture survey of US underwriters, which also found that inefficient systems, redundant inputs and manual processes are what hold them back most.
In this report, InsTech starts with the basics of what to look out for when comparing underwriting workbenches, and shares the experiences of some of those who have deployed workbenches, so the market can learn from the early adopters.
