Enhanced Digital Experiences Will Improve Customer Loyalty and Open New Industry Opportunities for Insurers, According to Study by DXC Technology
12.5.2020 16:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
The majority of Americans (87%) are comfortable sharing personal and lifestyle-focused data for the benefit of lower insurance premiums, according to a new insurance study conducted by DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC).
As part of the study, detailed in the 2020 DXC Insurance Survey Report: The Voice of the U.S. Consumer, more than 2,000 U.S. consumers were surveyed on their views about insurance and how they interact with those providing coverage. The study highlights how shifting consumer expectations are presenting opportunities for insurers to adopt and strategically deploy digital technologies — not only to gain market share and boost lifetime customer value, but also to assert their brands as exemplars of a new, more collaborative concept of the insurer/policyholder relationship.
Significantly, the study reveals Americans’ perspectives on the insurance industry and insurers’ offerings. Some highlights of the study’s findings include:
The insurance industry’s reputation is good, but more can be done to build trust.
- Eighty-one percent of Americans rate the insurance industry’s reputation as “average” or “above average,” while only 2 in 5 Americans trust providers to have their best interests at heart.
- Forty-three percent of consumers believe that half or fewer of claims are successfully paid, despite the actual figure being above 90%.
“By embracing new technologies, infrastructure and partner solutions, insurers can transcend the traditional insurance proposition to be more proactive partners in helping customers manage risk and prevent losses,” said Phil Ratcliff, vice president and general manager, Global Insurance, DXC Technology.
“Insurers are in a position to improve loyalty and elevate their brand by helping consumers understand how their products and services work and by continuing to improve the claims experience. The insurance winners of tomorrow will be defined by their ability to place the consumer at the heart of their strategies today,” he added.
Demonstrating the benefits of going digital will drive customer loyalty and create opportunities for insurers to offer new products and services.
- Forty-five percent of Americans are comfortable with wearable devices, and 43% are comfortable sharing the data from those devices with an insurer in exchange for benefits.
- Roughly 43% of Americans are comfortable with the insurance industry using technologies such as chatbots and AI to assist with insurance applications and claims.
- Among Americans aged 18 to 44, 43% prefer to file claims through digital channels; more than half (54%) of Americans believe an insurer’s app must be as easy to use as consumer apps.
As the leading provider of core insurance systems, DXC works with insurers to help them transform their business models and compete more effectively in a changing, more consumer-focused market.

European Wealth Firms Build Private Markets Capability Faster Than They Communicate It, Peregrine Report Finds20.10.2026 11:15:00 EEST | Press release
Europe's leading wealth managers have built genuine private markets capability but most have yet to explain it to the clients they built it for, according to The Wealth 30, a new report from Peregrine Communications. The study analyses how 30 leading UK and European wealth managers and private banks position private markets. It concludes that communication, not product, is now the biggest barrier to differentiation in the wealth channel. Capability outpaces explanation 73% of the Wealth 30 engage in private markets yet only 40% operate a dedicated landing page explaining what private markets are, why they matter and how clients can access them. Just 23% combine explainers, a destination and repeatable house-view content. Swiss private banks set the benchmark, supported by house views, outlooks and heritage narratives. Pictet, UBP, Lombard Odier and Julius Baer all back their positioning with repeatable insight content, and Coutts is the clearest UK example. UK firms more often communic

Global AI-first cloud communications platform Infobip strengthens its collaboration with Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing (YIMM) to transform customer engagement through WhatsApp-powered conversational experiences designed to drive stronger personalization and faster customer interactions.

Thredd, the AI-first issuer processing platform, today announced a new partnership with Finsei, a London-based payments company, to power the processing infrastructure behind Finsei’s new Mastercard debit offering. The partnership reflects a shared focus on simplifying an increasingly complex payments environment.

Finsei is designed to bring those capabilities together, while Thredd provides the underlying payment technology and infrastructure needed to deliver a secure, digital-first debit experience at scale. At launch, physical and virtual cards will be available, followed by both Apple Pay and Google Pay. “Businesses increasingly expect their financial tools to work together rather than operate as a collection of disconnected services,” said Jim McCarthy, CEO of Thredd. “Finsei is building around that expectation, bringing payments, currency manag
BRG Survey Finds 71% of Competition Lawyers Say Global Antitrust Policies Grew More Fragmented over Past Year20.10.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
Global antitrust enforcement is pulling apart along national lines, with 71% of senior competition attorneys reporting that policy became more fragmented across jurisdictions over the past 12 months, according to BRG’s inaugural Global Antitrust & Competition Report. Nearly four in five (78%) also cite cross-border antitrust requirements as a significant or recurring challenge. The report draws on a survey of 155 senior antitrust and competition attorneys across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific (APAC) and in-depth interviews with 18 leading lawyers. It also finds that about 60% of respondents expect antitrust enforcement to expand in scope and intensity over the next 12 months. “Domestic politics and geopolitical considerations increasingly influence the application of competition law across jurisdictions”, said David Parker, a managing director at BRG. “As a result, deal timelines and risk assessments often now have to be built jurisdiction by jurisdiction, from the earliest stage of
Murata Develops World’s Smallest 008004-inch Size (0.25mm × 0.125mm) NTC Thermistor for Space-Constrained Temperature Sensing20.10.2026 05:00:00 EEST | Press release
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) announces the development of the world’s smallest* 008004-inch size (0.25mm × 0.125mm) NTC thermistor, the NCU01 series.
