The insurance industry has been struggling to find its footing in the business process management (BPM) arena. Many experts have argued that the primary reason for this is the fact that the insurance sector is highly siloed, with each company having its own unique way of doing things. This has led to a lack of standardization and a general reluctance to change.
However, there are signs that this is starting to change. A number of insurance companies have begun to invest in BPM software and solutions, and there is an increasing awareness of the benefits that BPM can bring.
As the insurance industry starts to embrace BPM, it is important to understand the different approaches that can be taken. In particular, there are two main approaches: process-based BPM and case-based BPM.
Both approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is important to choose the right one for your organization.
