In this episode of The Future of ERP, Gaye Bingul, SAP Insurance Industry Lead, and Javier Gil, Head of Global Insurance & Reinsurance at SAP, discuss how the future of insurance relies on AI-powered ERP systems that unify all types of data-structured, unstructured, SAP, and non-SAP-to unlock deeper insights into customers and climate risks. They highlight key challenges insurers face, including complex global data privacy regulations, the growing aging population (“silver segment”), and a widening skills gap due to retiring experts and difficulty attracting new tech talent. Gaye and Javier emphasize how insurers can leverage connected devices, wearables, and AI-driven analytics to offer personalized health and wellness services that help the aging population stay healthy and independent while driving innovation and growth. Listeners gain insight into why digital transformation and advanced ERP solutions are critical for navigating regulatory demands and demographic shifts in the insurance industry.
