Six of the top 10 US insurance companies rely on Akamai solutions.

The Internet has transformed the insurance industry. With consumers and agents flocking to the Web, insurers are processing account applications, customer billing, claims adjustment, and other key processes online. Whether your firm is facilitating online quick quotes, or offering broker, agent, or claims portals, one thing is clear – applications and sites need to be delivered quickly and without fail.

Internet shortcomings hinder success
Unfortunately, the Internet was not designed to support the fast and reliable delivery of heavy content, feature-rich portals, and dynamic, Web-based applications. As a result, agents, brokers, and adjustors are slow to adopt portals, reverting instead to costly, offline methods of conducting business. And potential customers are abandoning sites – and heading to the competition – due to sluggish response from online quote applications.

Akamai helps ensure high performance and availability
Akamai's managed services make it possible to deliver applications and content quickly and reliably, so you can accelerate portal responsive as well as online sales and service applications – without building out costly data centers. Our managed services address core weaknesses of the public Internet, using the Akamai platform - 95,000 servers across 71 countries - to detect and avoid problem spots.
