“Insurers across P&C and L&A and Group are focused on growth strategies through traditional agent and broker channels as well as new channels such as marketplaces, white-labelling partnerships, banks, and more but are challenged in effectively engaging, managing and optimizing these channels due to legacy compensation systems designed for a different era of distribution,” stated Eric Bustos, Vice President of Distribution Management Practice at Majesco. “With the proliferation of new channels and the consolidation of agent and broker channels, insurers must meet the unique needs of these diverse channels with more innovative, forward-looking channel management, compensation and on-boarding capabilities.

The diversity of these channels, require new, innovative digital, distribution and data capabilities to create a sustainable competitive advantage and drive growth.
