Insurance IoT is not about things, is about connecting insurance with people and their risks
Connected insurance:
Applications
Health Industrial risksAutomotive Building Life
insurance solution that provides the use
of sensors for collecting data on the state of an insured risk and
telematics for the remote transmission of the collected data and
their use on the Insurance value chain

Black-box
More than 4 Millions of insurance black boxes fitted in
the cars +4
Penetration
Telematics represent 16% of the auto insurance contracts sold and renewed at Q4 '15 16%
Best practice
One of the main Italian insurance Groups reached a penetration greater
than 40% on his auto insurance portfolio
>40%Insurers
26 Insurers are offering a motor third part liability cover telematics based on the Italian market

Insurance telematics is mainstream in Italy

The client perspective
MTPL +theft (discounted) + black box MTPL (discounted) + black box
When the value increase is positive and material, there is an effective use case for the client and a selling speech for the distributor

Why motor insurance telematics?
“I am the Career Genie.
I grant 3 wishes that help people
along with their jobs.” “For my first wish, I would like safe drivers
to buy my Motor insurance product”

• Ability of box to auto-select risks and influence behaviors
• Efficiency of information usage in the claims handling process
• Reduced thefts claims
• Usage of external partners (TSP) allowed to:
- achieve relevant quick wins with limited investments and limited impact on the system
- have direct access to innovation
• Effectiveness of the commercial act which is maximized by:
- Visual effect of the reach of the RCA discount
- Explicit cost paid by the client (mix of rate, services and assistance premiums)
• Remuneration to the intermediaries

Why risk-based pricing?
Premium adjustment based on the behaviors, with a mechanism understandable and communicable
Risk-based pricing to offer a competitive renewal rate to the low risk client, in order to retain them and improve the technical profitability of the auto insurance telematics portfolio
Make clients less riskyRetention
of low risk clients
• How to engage the client?
• Is a discount on the insurance rate at renewal enough?
• Other reward could be used?
• Which variables are really effective to identify the low risk clients?
• With the discount diffusion on the low risk clients, how to manage the technical equilibrium of the part of the portfolio without telematics?

Connected insurance market adoption requires defined sequential steps
Which is the best
way to do it for
my company?
Does the
approach make
sense?
There is a
ROI of the
use case?
•First pilots •Roll out on few pioneers
•Pilot phases diffusion over the greatest part of players, by using a "me-too" approach
•Only few top players understand telematics full potential (UW, claims, VAS), define their own approach (eg: big data) and push the selling phase
•Commercial offer differentiation
•Telematics potential fully understood and increased commercial push by all players
•Differentiating solutions / providers over top players
•Telematics approach is the standard for the insurance business
•Relationship consolidation between top players and providers, best practices cross-country diffusion

Telematics strategy
Value proposition
What strategic goal to achieve by introducing connected insurance?
How to position the product within the current product offer? What target client to reach?
Hardware and
operating model
• Which user experience at sales point?
• What pricing approach to introduce at underwriting and renewal?
• What services and loyalty systems to include in the product?
• How to leverage the communication channel with client?
• Which data and how structure the data gathering approach?
• What devices and which delivery user experience?
• How to evolve processes to strengthen the effectiveness of the impacted
Company functions? (e.g. claims, actuarial, UW…)
• How to capitalize on the cumulated experiences and activate a path of
continuous improvement?
