Award recognizes enterprise excellence and
innovation in IT
COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 16,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Foundry's CIO has named Aflac, a
leading provider of supplemental health insurance in the
U.S.,1 as a 2023 CIO 100 award winner. For more than 30
years, the CIO 100 awards have recognized innovative organizations
around the world that exemplify the highest level of strategic and
operational excellence in IT.
Aflac is committed to using digital solutions to make it easier
for customers to buy; for the distribution team to sell, and for
employees to work to ensure the company fulfills its promise to
customers — to be there for policyholders to help with the expenses
health insurance doesn't cover.
Aflac's award-winning project Code Based Processing platform
transformed the way the company processes claims by using machine
learning and artificial intelligence that can be leveraged to
disrupt document-intensive and knowledge-driven manual processes
within the insurance industry.
"Aflac is proud to be among the top CIO 100 honorees for 2023,"
said Aflac U.S. Chief Information Officer Shelia Anderson. "The Aflac IT team was
instrumental in reimagining the claims process using cutting-edge
tech capabilities and enhancing the claims experience for both our
employees and policyholders. Machine learning and artificial
intelligence have also significantly improved our claim accuracy,
which is two-times better than the manual process alone."
The CIO 100 Awards recognizes 100 organizations and the teams
within them that are using IT in innovative ways to deliver
business value, whether by creating competitive advantage,
optimizing business processes, enabling growth or improving
relationships with customers.
"This year's class of award winners have distinguished
themselves with many groundbreaking projects using AI, quantum
computing, facial recognition, analytics, and more," said
Anne McCrory, Group Vice President,
Customer Experience and Operations, Events, at Foundry and the
chair of the 2023 CIO awards programs. "Their innovations improve
customer experiences, track sustainability and reduce risk, and
have novel applications across industries, from pharma and health
care to manufacturing, retail, software, and more. We look forward
to highlighting their great accomplishments at the CIO 100
Symposium & Awards in August."
Executives from the winning companies will be recognized at the
CIO 100 Symposium & Awards on August
16 in Rancho Palos Verdes,
California. Click here to view the 2023 CIO 100
