Key features include:
ContentGrid’s unique capabilities for Insurances
ContentGrid allows to leverage a minimal data model in your insurance company. As a consequence, your customers, employees, management and stakeholders will be able to query it more naturally. A smart archive needs to understand customers, policies and claims. Don’t think folders, because your users and customers think contract, claim, payment....
This allows to solve Insurance specific information management headaches such as:
- 1000’s of copies of documents:
- Example: Linking a single annex with terms and conditions to a large set of policies, for which the annex applies.
- Example: Linking a single annex with terms and conditions to a large set of policies, for which the annex applies.
- Maintaining historical correctness.
- Example: Which annex was valid for a policy XYZ on 1/1/2016?
- Example: Which annex was valid for a policy XYZ on 1/1/2016?
- Incorrect metadata:
- Example : customer data repeated 100 times or more in documents, no check on consistency . How can we de duplicate?
- Example : customer data repeated 100 times or more in documents, no check on consistency . How can we de duplicate?
- confidential documents and private information is basically unprotected and access trust is delegated to the “system user”, or “mr portal”…
- Example: I want my customer to see insurance documents related to herself, her employees, and private information about employees to be visible to the medical staff. Any emails are also protected, and visible to the To: and CC:..
- Example: I want my customer to see insurance documents related to herself, her employees, and private information about employees to be visible to the medical staff. Any emails are also protected, and visible to the To: and CC:..
- A tedious search experience, to find related documents when trying to solve a business task :
- Example: from a claim, find the relevant emails, pictures, product, policy, annex, payments, all within the document repository, in one go.
Because they interact in business processes, documents have natural connetions and relationships. Let’s not waiste them.
- Example: from a claim, find the relevant emails, pictures, product, policy, annex, payments, all within the document repository, in one go.
By creating an intuitive business context, and supporting natural relationships between documents (policy, claim, annex, email, ..), contentgrid deduplicates documents and metadata. Your employees, customers and partners will find a natural context to solve information challenges together and get work done. Going forward, this is a sound basis to roll out AI capabilities.
