India-based general insurer HDFC ERGO has partnered with American tech giant IBM to co-develop artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions to improve customer experience.

Experts from HDFC ERGO and IBM Services will use IBM Garage and collectively develop and test new solutions.

The IBM Garage team includes design thinkers, data scientists, insurance industry experts, architects among others. They will work with the HDFC ERGO team to identify data-driven, modern ideas through short iterations on a continuous delivery schedule.

HDFC ERGO believes that the new technology will help address customer queries, provide faster turnaround time and offer deeper customer insights for a better omni-channel experience.

IBM Services and Global Business Services senior vice president Mark Foster said: “Organisations are managing the dual demands of undertaking digital transformation and reinventing their businesses to respond to changing customer demands — they must do so at pace and at scale.

“Through the IBM Garage, HDFC and IBM will leverage exponential technologies and deep insights to co-create, co-execute and co-operate new solutions, capabilities and approaches to transform customer experiences.”
