The Virtual Company Model
For life insurance, property and casualty insurance, annuity and pension providers, virtualization means a shift from enterprise-centric processing to network-based processing across enterprises to create a leaner, more efficient and more focused organization. It’s a new way of thinking about the process of insurance.
Most companies today have “virtualized” processes such as payroll, 401(k) management and facilities maintenance; they rely on functional specialists to provide needed expertise or gain leverage and scale. Virtualization of insurance-specific processes remains low.
Changing market conditions have forced many executives to re-examine their hold on these types of processes. Armed with enabling technologies such as Business Process Management Systems, the Internet, digitized documentation and secured financial transactions, insurers and annuity and pension providers are transforming the way they operate.
Why Go Virtual?
The virtual insurance company model provides significant advantages over other enterprise models:
- Owners and managers focus on strategies and activities that optimize the growth of value of the enterprise.
- Capital is invested where it provides the greatest ROI.
- Fixed expenses are converted into variable expenses.
- Companies gain access to world-class expertise, scale and scope of virtual partners in the extended value chain.
