Aite Group announces the launch of its property & casualty insurance research service, which will supply Aite customers with insight into issues that impact the p&c industry.
Research is focused on the following elements:
• The P&C insurance supply chain ecosystem • Business process innovation in claims, underwriting, and distribution • Outsourcing, business intelligence, analytics, and customer and data management • Emerging and best practices driving differentiation and business outcomes
Following the establishment of its health insurance and life insurance services, the p&c insurance service provides coverage of the third major insurance vertical. "Aite Group's property & casualty insurance research service was established to round out Aite Group's insurance offerings and its offerings across all financial services segments," says Frank Rizza, Aite Group partner and chief operating officer. "Many of the largest banks and technology providers conduct business across multiple segments. The combined assets of our banking, securities & investments, and insurance segments can give our clients a holistic view into the issues affecting their entire organization."
Aite Group's p&c service is led by senior analyst Stephen Applebaum, who brings to the firm more than 25 years of experience in the p&c insurance information technology industry.
Applebaum joined Aite Group in March after working with leading p&c service providers in the United States and Canada, including CCC Information Services, ADP Claims Services Group (now Solera/Audatex), and ClaimForce Inc. Prior to joining Aite Group, he was the principal of Insurance Claim Solutions, a strategic consultancy practice serving North American p&c industry claims information technology and service providers.
"Stephen brings to Aite Group a deep understanding of the P&C landscape," says Clark Troy, Aite Group research director and head of the firm's three insurance services. "His experience with keeping clients at the forefront of the latest business trends and technologies makes him a perfect partner for firms seeking to establish or maintain an edge over the competition."
