TCS Digital Insurance Agent Offers Enriched One Stop Mobile
Solution for Insurance Agents
Enhanced Mobile App Offers Agents Anytime Access to Critical Information and Customer Service Tools on Android Devices
MUMBAI, India, Oct. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading IT services,
consulting, and business solutions organization, today announced an Android device ready version of its TCS Digital Insurance Agent
Solution, an innovative mobile application that enables insurance agents and brokers to perform sales in real-time, provide immediate
customer service, and stay informed and connected while they're on the go. The application is designed to leverage native tablet features,
such as camera, voice recorder and location services for agent business transactions. The TCS Digital Insurance Agent Solution can be
leveraged for key functions including prospecting, lead management, sales projection, measuring of sales results and showcasing product
capabilities.
The TCS Digital Insurance Agent Solution is available as a native iPad app, and Hybrid app for iPad and Android based tablets. The new
Hybrid version supports multi-language, enhanced encryption for device data storage and ease of transition from the mobile app to
deployment on a laptop or desktop.
"The evolution of the TCS Digital Insurance Agent Solution is a perfect example of how TCS is constantly investing in harnessing new
technology to bring innovation to the insurance industry," said Suresh Muthuswami, President, Insurance and Healthcare at TCS. "We see
this tool as a real game-changer that will transform the way agents do their jobs while delivering a great customer experience."
"A recent Novarica survey revealed that 60 percent of insurers will add new mobile capabilities for policyholders and agents in 2013," said
Karlyn Carnahan, Principal at Novarica. "With mobile now incorporating tablets, insurers are seeing mobile capabilities as essential to
their information value chains. Agents are seeking tools that improve interaction effectiveness from presentation to generating
illustrations to completing applications. Mobile applications are an effective business tool and communication channel to streamline an
agent's job by creating efficiencies, improving customer interactions, and allowing agents to conduct business from any location."
The upgrade of the TCS Digital Insurance Agent Solution is the latest in a series of product innovations from the company's Insurance
Innovation Lab -- a state-of-the-art environment for customers to test new ideas and trial new solutions. Earlier this year, the company
released TCS Insurance QuickPass -- an app that allows insured drivers to maintain a true "digital wallet" that includes a digital version of
their insurance card and other critical policy and resource information on their smartphones.
