Google Cloud has strategically partnered with Admiral, the financial services company in the UK, to improve its core insurance operations and enhance customer experiences.
Following the agreement, Google Cloud will power Admiral’s core insurance operations, including insurance policy administration and digital systems. Admiral will also use Google Cloud technologies to develop new digital products and services, such as making further improvements to its customer-facing mobile app.
Using its centralised view of data, Admiral will deliver more personalised and seamless digital experiences to its customers, including personalised offers and tailored services. Admiral also plans to use Google Cloud to bolster its digital channels, including its website, mobile app, and contact centre.
Admiral explained that the collaboration will enable it to accelerate time-to-market for new products and services by deploying containerised cloud applications and adopting new software development practices. The firm will also continue to improve operational efficiency using Google Cloud’s data analytics capabilities, and better serve its customers with Google Cloud’s AI and machine learning services.
