Scope
The Hartford’s claims department uses data analytics to offer innovative services to customers. For instance, The Hartford’s health insurance claims department identifies patterns in a treatment course and suggests additional medical treatments such as physiotherapy or counselling. The group’s automobile insurance department applies fleet telematics to identify drivers exhibiting risky driving behaviors and inform fleet owners. The company uses data analytics to identify coverage gaps for clients and create customized insurance plans that cover their individual risks.
The Hartford utilizes machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to automate manual processes, increase operational efficiency, and improve client satisfaction. It automated the license verification process via machine learning technologies. The group also utilizes AI-algorithms to process insurance applications, while text processing algorithms identify customer requests and direct them to the right department, thus reducing managerial intervention.
Over several years, the company had significantly expanded the overall scale of its key businesses and increased the breadth and depth of its product offerings. In addition, it made significant investments in digital, data and analytics, cloud, and artificial intelligence, through its “Hartford Next” operational transformation and cost reduction plan. The Hartford migrated its businesses to cloud infrastructure to reduce operational costs and increase transparency and efficiency.
The Hartford has fortified its digital culture via changes to its key personnel. In March 2024, The Hartford combined its Operations and Technology, Data, Analytics and Cyber functions under Deepa Soni’s leadership to advance the company’s strategy and deliver exceptional value to customers and business partners. Previously, the company also appointed Claire Burns as chief marketing and communications officer to oversee brand, marketing, digital transformation, product management, and business strategy.
