Boston, MA (Sept. 12, 2019) \u2013 Insurers are increasingly realizing the benefits of InsurTech partnerships, including access to technical expertise, new talent, and a low-cost way to test new technology. But working with InsurTechs successfully requires insurers to adapt their evaluation, contracting, and project management approaches. In a new report, InsurTech Startup Perspectives on Working with Insurers<\/strong><\/em>, research and advisory firm Novarica draws on research on InsurTechs\u2019 experience of working with insurers ranging from early-stage to more established companies to help insurers understand the startup perspective: what\u2019s working, what\u2019s not, and how insurers can take advantage of partnerships.<\/p>\n \u201cInsurers tend to be risk averse by necessity and prefer to see a history of successful implementations as a result,\u201d said Jeff Goldberg, Executive Vice President of Research and Consulting and author of Novarica\u2019s new report. \u201cYet working with startups may mean having to overlook a short track record, especially for more early stage companies. The payoff is that insurers may be able to influence a startup\u2019s direction, and startups may be willing to offer a lower cost in turn.\u201d<\/p>\n A preview of the report is available online<\/a>.<\/p>\n Money continues to pour into the InsureTech market, and insurers are waking up to the benefits of InsureTech partnerships: access to technical expertise, new talent, and a low-cost way to test new technology, to name a few. Yet time and resources are precious to startups, and many insurers want to see a track record of success before entering an engagement. This combination can introduce challenges when it comes to partnering.<\/p>\n Novarica discussed the experience of working with insurers with more than 25 startups, ranging from early-stage to more established companies to help insurers understand the startup perspective: what\u2019s working, what\u2019s not, and how insurers can take advantage of partnerships.<\/p>\n Click here<\/a> for the table of contents or to access the report.<\/p>\n About Novarica<\/b><\/p>\n Novarica helps more than 100 insurers make better decisions about technology projects and strategy through retained advisory services, published research, and strategy consulting.
