Product innovation: Access to more information about customers, including their purchasing habits, wellness and lifestyle will allow insurers to re-think how products are structured and drive better value for customers.

Streamlining of administrative processes: A more sophisticated data architecture will enable automation of back office processing of claims and policy administration which will lead to a better customer and adviser experience.

Improved Claims Experience: Life insurers will be able to gain a more complete picture of a customer’s situation, increasing the accuracy of underwriting and pricing decisions. This will lead to the ability to offer more customers a higher quality of cover.

• But stay as close to the production system data model as possible

• Deltas should be “little and often”
