Meeting Needs of Diverse Distribution Channels
“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,” comment Eric Bustos, VP, Distribution Management Practice, 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. Majesco Distribution Management provides a new platform that brings digital, distribution and data together for a new era of insurance to help insurers optimize and grow their business.”
