DISC provides a next-generation IT architecture that features
cloud-based assets and Web services, and multi-channel, telematics
and data analytics capabilities. It provides an environment where
clients can review and interact with prototyped solutions,
benchmark successes and failures from past projects and use the
learning to develop solutions that respond to the opportunities and
challenges insurers face.
“DISC offers insurers a cost-efficient, low-risk way of
experimenting with a wide range of technologies before deploying
them to consumers, business partners or internally,” said Cindy De
Armond, managing director in Accenture Property and Casualty
Insurance Services and the policy services offering lead for North
America. “Accenture works with insurers in a state-of-the-art
environment to help them explore emerging trends, such as robotics
and drones, which is crucial as insurance companies become more
digital.”
Accenture works with clients in DISC locations to help them
explore innovative technologies such as analytics, wearables, cloud
and Internet of Things products and concepts. DISC provides an
environment where insurers can access data architecture and
infrastructure that is readily scalable, upgradeable, and always
on. For example, the center showcases the Accenture Insights
Platform, a cloud-based analytics-as-a-service solution; advanced
analytics applications developed through the Accenture Analytics
Applications Platform such as the claims fraud application;
Accenture Duck Creek Property & Casualty insurance software as
well as Accenture’s ecosystem of alliance partners that provide
telematics solutions, analytics and reporting software, and other
technology services.
