In a new executive brief, <em><strong>CRM in Insurance: Overview and Key Issues<\/strong><\/em>, research and advisory firm Novarica categorizes three types of CRMs and how they differ in origin, emphasis, complexity, scope, and the types of data they contain. In clarifying this space, Novarica advises insurers have a clear understanding of what type of CRM they have in mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInsurers should start with the use cases and capabilities they hope to enable using a CRM, and then begin to approach vendors,\u201d said Paul Legutko, VP of Digital Marketing and Analytics and author of Novarica\u2019s new report. \u201cSimply building or buying a CRM doesn\u2019t ensure that its capabilities will be used, and, at worst, a CRM could be stood up whose features aren\u2019t needed, by organizations who need certain capabilities that the CRM ends up lacking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurance-canada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Novarica-CRM-In-Insurance-202010.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-68610\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insurance-canada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Novarica-CRM-In-Insurance-202010-1024x655.jpg\" alt=\"CRM in Insurance: Overview and Key Issues \" width=\"640\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insurance-canada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Novarica-CRM-In-Insurance-202010-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insurance-canada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Novarica-CRM-In-Insurance-202010-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insurance-canada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Novarica-CRM-In-Insurance-202010-768x492.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insurance-canada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Novarica-CRM-In-Insurance-202010-600x384.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.insurance-canada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Novarica-CRM-In-Insurance-202010.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/novarica.com\/crm-in-insurance-overview-and-key-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> for the table of contents or to access the report.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Report Summary<br \/><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This brief examines the origin, emphasis, complexity, scope, and the types of data contained in customer relationship management tools, or CRMs, available to insurers. There are hundreds of solutions and vendors in the marketplace that advertise themselves as customer relationship management (CRM) platforms and providers. Yet they vary widely in their capabilities, scope, and the type of data they are designed to manage. Insurers should have a clear understanding of their intended use case and whether their needs are best served by a Core-, CCM-, or DXP-CRM platform.<\/p>\n<p>However sophisticated, CRM platforms are an essential component of insurance technology systems. Determining the core focus of these platforms should be the first step in standing up, expanding, or adopting them within the enterprise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/novarica.com\/crm-in-insurance-overview-and-key-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> for the table of contents or to access the report.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"smallhead\"><b>About Novarica<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Novarica helps more than 100 insurers make better decisions about technology projects and strategy.
