Aon and Claim Central establish strategic alliance

Jacksonville, FL, February 05, 2019 – Aon plc, a leading global professional services firm providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solutions, and global InsurTech firm Claim Central have established a strategic alliance focused on digitizing and streamlining claim management capabilities and enhancing the customer experience using transformative technology and services developed specifically for property and casualty (P&C) insurance organizations.

Critical to this alliance is Claim Central’s successful track record implementing digital ecosystems for property claims adjusting and repairs for insurance organizations around the world – notably following Hurricanes Harvey and Irma when loss adjuster resources were scarce in Florida. Claim Central’s technology excels at digitizing the property claims process with modern features and functionality, including live video streaming, aerial imagery, real-time chat, customer sentiment measures, and digital payments. This means assessors do not need to be physically on the ground, making the process more efficient and ultimately improving the policyholder experience.

“Aon is committed to helping clients navigate the InsurTech ecosystem and adopt new technologies that advance their strategic initiatives,” said Andy Marcell, CEO of Aon’s Reinsurance Solutions business. “Claim Central is utilizing technology to make a meaningful impact in the area of claims management, and this is increasingly important for our re/insurer clients as they manage volatility following another active year for global natural disasters.”

Claim Central is also opening an Innovation Center in Jacksonville, Florida which will further support this alliance by taking the heavy lifting of technology implementations out of the equation to enhance Aon’s re/insurer clients’ claims processes. The Innovation Center will run Claim Central’s single platform claims solution, and will include modernized workflows with desk examiners, field adjusters, and a connection to a credentialed contractor repair network to support loss mitigation and faster property repairs.

“Our goal with the Aon partnership and the opening of our Innovation Center is to make claims transformation and innovation easier for insurers and reinsurers,” said Brian Siemsen, global CEO of Claim Central. “This is an opportunity for Aon’s clients and Claim Central’s other insurer customers to concentrate more fully on maximizing operations and reaping the full benefit offered by new InsurTech.”

This alliance between Aon and Claim Central delivers opportunities for insurers to swiftly streamline the claims process while the Innovation Center provides a live insurance environment in which new-to-market features and functionality can be tested, and special projects for insurer clients can be conducted without any regular business interruption.
