Insurance Australia Group (IAG) has entered into a significant new partnership with Adobe, signaling a strategic move to transform its digital customer engagement and accelerate growth across its diverse portfolio of retail insurance brands. The collaboration will see IAG implement Adobe Experience Cloud to create more personalized and data-informed interactions for its customers, including those of NRMA Insurance.
This initiative builds upon IAG’s existing investments in Adobe technologies such, as Adobe Experience Manager, Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, and Adobe Express, which have already bolstered the company’s digital infrastructure and content delivery capabilities. The expanded partnership is designed to place customer needs at the forefront of IAG’s operations.
Nandor Locher, executive general manager – digital business at IAG, emphasized the customer-centric vision of the partnership. “Adobe’s technology will allow us to better anticipate their needs, personalise their experiences, and connect touchpoints across channels, making every interaction simpler and more relevant,” Locher stated. The integration of Adobe’s solutions is expected to enable IAG to consolidate customer data from various systems, facilitating proactive engagement.
The partnership aligns with a broader industry trend where artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly pivotal in enhancing operational efficiency and customer service within the insurance sector. Insights from GlobalData’s 2024 Emerging Trends Insurance Consumer Survey highlight this shift, with 73.8% of respondents believing AI can reduce the time required to connect with a customer service representative. Furthermore, 71.5% see AI’s potential to improve operational performance, and 71.2% agree that AI could surpass human capabilities in pattern recognition.
AI adoption is also on the rise among Australian insurers. A recent whitepaper from Gallagher Bassett, titled “Carrier Perspective: 2025 Claims Insights,” reveals that 88% of Australian insurers have now integrated generative AI into some aspect of their claims processes, marking a 38 percentage point increase from the previous year. This technology is being applied to critical areas such as claims intake, fraud detection, and customer communications. Moreover, 74.5% of individuals who have interacted with insurance chatbots expressed satisfaction with their experience.
