Insurance & Technology

Once in a while, something comes along that's so big and so transformative that nothing is ever the same again. The light bulb. The cell phone. And now, the iPad. Apple's sleek new tablet computer has forever changed consumers' expectations for technology. Nowhere is this more in evidence than in insurance company's evolving distribution strategies.

In today's digital age, insurance agents and producers increasingly are interacting with customers via mobile devices, such as the iPad, as well as in social networks, including Facebook and Twitter. The April digital edition of Insurance & Technology examines how these new rules of engagement are shaping carriers' distribution strategies and changing the insurance experience -- for both customers and producers.
