WebSphere for the Financial Services Industry

Financial institutions today are challenged by the need to effectively manage client relationships through a variety of products and across a number of organizational divisions. They want to offer high-touch, high-value services to a wider customer base, but do everything cost-effectively to ensure short - and long-term success. As a result, the new service models weigh the cost of service versus the value realized by the client. Done effectively, that balance provides:

  • Unique and differentiated products and services based on customer preferences
  • Self-service opportunities for customers to manage their own portfolios
  • Targeted marketing offers to the right clients based on accurate, available data
  • In-depth knowledge of clients and client history that can be shared across all areas of the institution
  • Ability to react dynamically to customer demands and bring new products online efficiently

Middleware solutions for the insurance industry: Create real-time insurance enterprise to grow your policy base and drive customer satisfaction    (.pdf)
While insurance companies today must reduce costs and streamline operations, they simultaneously need to deliver services that can attract and retain customers. Customers want an agent and insurer that respond quickly. For example, when customers make claims, they want the insurance company to rapidly send the adjuster, assess the situation on the spot and initiate the appropriate next steps right away. Delivering these services quickly requires an insurer to integrate customer information across its extended enterprise and with content from outside parties to deliver information on demand when and where it is needed.
