Hyper-personalization across forms, channel orchestration and AI will double over the next two years, says a study from Salesforce and Smart Communications. The study is based on a survey from Insurance Innovators of 150 senior insurance executives across the U.S. and U.K. Ninety-five percent of those executives said they believe the claims process is where insurers have the greatest opportunity to build — or lose — customer trust.
