DXC brings Claude to the insurance backbone running billions of policies
DXC Technology built Assure, an orchestration platform for its 1,100 insurance carrier, broker and TPA customers, with Claude running inside every layer: document intelligence classifies incoming claims documents in under a second, workflow orchestration routes decisions via purpose-built Smart Apps, and a compliance layer logs and can replay every action for regulators. Claude cut claims document backlogs from days to minutes, embedded new regulatory rules in days versus the historical 12-18 months, and stood up a working version of a complex, regulated workers' compensation benefits calculation in eight hours that was 80% right on the first pass, reducing the share of that calculation requiring human judgment from 70% to 20%.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Insurance decisions on underwriting and claims run mostly on human judgment applied to documents arriving by email, fax, paper and phone; before Claude, making sense of those documents consumed 40-50% of expert time in claims operations, and backlogs ran days while exceptions waited and errors compounded. The industry sits on four exabytes of data, of which DXC estimates less than 15% is usable.
The solution
DXC built Assure, an API-driven orchestration platform, with Claude running in every layer: a document intelligence layer classifies incoming documents in under a second and extracts the policy, party, amount and date; workflow orchestration routes decisions to purpose-built "Smart Apps" for single jobs like first notice of loss or reserving; a compliance layer logs and can replay every action for regulators; and work is routed across model tiers, with simple triage on lighter models and hundred-page claims files routed to a frontier model.
Reported business value
Claude cut claims document backlogs from days to minutes, with documents classified in under a second. DXC embedded new regulatory rules in days versus the historical 12-18 months. A Smart App for a regulated workers' compensation benefits calculation was stood up in eight hours and was 80% right on the first pass, and the share of that calculation requiring human judgment has dropped from 70% to 20%. Claude-powered capabilities have scaled to thousands of employees across DXC's 14,000-person insurance business.

UNIQA SEE cuts health insurance claims processing times by 90% with Azure AI
UNIQA SEE's claims handlers faced fragmented documents, manual tasks, and heavy call-center reliance that slowed claims processing. Using Microsoft Azure AI alongside Microsoft Foundry, Azure Document Intelligence, and Azure OpenAI, UNIQA SEE built an end-to-end AI-driven medical referral solution that extracts, validates, and integrates referral letter data via APIs into the core claims system. The solution reduced claims processing time from 15-30 minutes to 2-3 minutes (an 85-90% reduction), lowered costs and call volumes, and freed staff for higher-value work. UNIQA SEE also introduced a self-service web and mobile app allowing customers to submit medical referral letters digitally. UNIQA SEE became the first insurer in Southeastern Europe to implement an AI-powered business process solution of this kind.
How Mapfre Insurance modernized fraud claims with Amazon EMR Serverless
Mapfre Insurance, the number one auto and home insurer in Massachusetts, modernized fraud detection by combining graph-based features from Neo4j with machine learning models deployed on AWS, using Amazon EMR Serverless, Apache Iceberg tables on Amazon S3, AWS Glue Data Catalog, AWS Lake Formation, and Amazon MWAA for orchestration. Fraud predictions integrate directly with Guidewire Claims via AWS Lambda, automatically creating claim activities showing the top model drivers for adjusters. The initiative, covering Massachusetts Auto insurance and later expanded to Home insurance, has delivered more than $5 million in Net Present Value, with detection accuracy improved 50-135 percent compared to baseline methods.
Efficiency meets data sovereignty: Lector automates document processing with AI
Lector, a platform for intelligent document processing used by more than 60 corporate customers including over 25 health insurers, migrated its productive cloud services from a major American cloud provider to OVHcloud's German data centre to meet GDPR and data-sovereignty requirements. Using OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes, S3-compatible Object Storage, and AI Training/AI Deploy/AI Endpoint services, Lector achieved over 80% time savings in document processing across more than 500 million pages processed to date, while reducing the operational burden of running Kafka and MongoDB themselves.
Generali France Rides the Wave of Microsoft 365 Copilot and Agentic AI with Microsoft
Generali France rolled out Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Azure OpenAI as part of its 'Boost 2027' strategic plan. 100% of employees have access to Copilot Chat and 3,700 use Microsoft 365 Copilot, with 70% of the workforce adopting it and generating an average of fifteen prompts per user per week. About fifty agents built with Copilot Studio address specialized cases including helpdesk operations. A 24/7 voice assistant resolves nearly 1.3 million calls (30% of requests) directly, with no human intervention. Generative AI also supports home insurance subscription, compliance beneficiary searches, and claims management, where 2.1 million operations were processed by RPA robots in 2024, including automated analysis of wall cracks during drought episodes (10% needing no human intervention) and recognition of more than 15 document types. Implementation was supported by Microsoft partner Avanade.
