Insurance executives face a familiar challenge: how to process increasing claim volumes, meet tighter regulatory requirements, and deliver faster customer service while controlling costs. Traditional automation helped with simple tasks, but complex insurance decisions still require human judgment. Or do they?
The combination of Camunda's process orchestration platform and agentic AI creates a new approach to insurance operations.
This technology partnership addresses the core anxieties keeping insurance leaders awake at night: compliance audits, processing backlogs, inconsistent decisions, and the constant pressure to do more with less.
The Insurance Operations Challenge
Insurance companies handle thousands of decisions daily. Each underwriting decision, claims assessment, and compliance review requires evaluation of multiple factors, consideration of risk patterns, and adherence to regulatory requirements.
The stakes are high: approve the wrong risk and face significant losses; delay legitimate claims and damage customer relationships; fail to comply with requirements and face regulatory penalties.
Traditional workflow automation follows predetermined rules. If a claim amount exceeds $10,000, route it to a senior adjuster. If an applicant has a clean driving record, approve the policy. These rigid rules work well for simple scenarios but break down when faced with complex, nuanced situations that require sound judgment.
Meanwhile, your competitors are finding ways to process claims more efficiently, offer more competitive rates, and deliver a better customer experience. The pressure to innovate while maintaining operational excellence continues to intensify.
How Agentic AI Changes Insurance Operations
Agentic AI fundamentally changes how insurance processes work. Instead of following fixed rules, AI agents can evaluate situations, make decisions, and adapt their approach based on what they discover.
These systems can autonomously gather data, assess risk, and take appropriate actions within defined boundaries.
In practical terms, this means having AI that can review a complex commercial property claim, recognize that it needs additional engineering reports, automatically request those reports, analyze the responses, and make recommendations based on the complete picture.
The AI agent handles the entire workflow while maintaining detailed records of its decision-making process.
Camunda enables this transformation by providing the orchestration framework where AI agents can operate with controlled autonomy. Through ad-hoc subprocesses, AI agents can choose which actions to take from a predefined set of options based on the specific circumstances they encounter.
Solving Real Insurance Problems
Compliance Audit Anxiety
Regulatory compliance creates constant stress for insurance operations. Traditional systems make it challenging to track decision-making processes, particularly when multiple individuals are involved in different aspects of a case.
Auditors want to see not just what decisions were made, but why they were made and what information influenced them.
Agentic AI builds explainability into the process. AI agents can log their actions, inputs, and reasoning in real-time, creating a complete and ready-to-review audit trail.
Underwriting Efficiency Under Pressure
Underwriting requires balancing speed with accuracy. Rush the process, and you accept poor risks. Take too long and you lose good customers to competitors.
Traditional systems force this tradeoff by requiring human review for complex cases.
Smart underwriting with Camunda and BP3 agentic AI changes this dynamic. AI agents can evaluate complex risk factors, pull additional data from multiple sources, and make underwriting decisions in minutes rather than days.
They escalate only the most complex cases to human underwriters, allowing your team to focus on high-value decisions while AI handles routine evaluations. And perhaps more importantly, it matures over time. You can define new checkpoints and decision logic to give agentic AI more room to act, even in the most complex cases, while ensuring the guardrails are always in place.
Claims Processing Speed Without Sacrificing Quality
Claims processing creates a constant tension between speed and thoroughness. Customers want fast payouts, but thorough investigations prevent fraud and ensure accurate settlements. Traditional approaches force you to choose between speed and quality.
Smart claims processing with AI agents delivers both. The system can analyze claim documents, photos, and supporting evidence simultaneously, identify potential fraud indicators, request additional information when needed, and process straightforward claims immediately.
Complex cases get human attention while simple claims flow through automatically.
