Why only 7% of insurers now beat the “digital maturity” average, and reap the real rewards (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In ACORD's 2026 Insurance Digital Maturity Study, which measures how deeply insurers embed and orchestrate digital capabilities across the value chain, only the top echelon of carriers - the 7% it classified as “Digital Competitors” - beat the study average on both profitability and total shareholder return (TSR). Every tier below, including firms that have already digitalized across their operations, fell short. David Sterner, senior vice president of research and development at ACORD, the New
TPA governance risk hides in vendors' AI control, requires carrier strategy: Baker Tilly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nearly three out of four financial institutions cannot say which of their vendors use artificial intelligence; Risk and compliance firm Ncontracts's 2026 State of Third-Party Risk Management Survey found that 72 percent of institutions remained only partially aware of vendor AI use, and 9 percent had not assessed it at all.

Puneet Satyawadi (pictured), chief operating officer of Marsh Risk, the global brokerage owned by New York-based Marsh, describes an adoption curve that now shapes where the company invests next. Marsh's Dublin Innovation Cente
The three-year price tag on delaying core system modernization (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every year an insurer delays core system modernization, it pays a compounding opportunity cost: lost business, eroded talent, slower product launches, and a widening service gap against more agile competitors – a bill two insurance technology executives say is measurable well before the technology itself visibly breaks down. More than half of US insurance executives report spending between 51% and 75% of their IT budget just keeping existing systems running, and 94% said at least one strategic t
