Where does the insurance industry stand with regard to realworld business application of mobile technologies and how does the industry want to use mobile in the future? A study conducted by FirstBest Systems, revealed the use of smartphones and tablets has increased since a similar survey was done in 2011.

Findings indicated that insurers are shifting mobile use from basic job convenience to delivering better and faster customer service from anywhere, at any time.
