Life insurers may be more likely than property and casualty insurers to see their customer websites and mobile device apps as marketing tools.

Analysts at Novarica — a Boston-based insurance technology research firm — have raised that possibility in a summary of results from a survey of about 79 insurance company chief information officers (CIOs). The sample included 64 P&C insurers and 15 life insurers.

The analysts were looking at how insurers handle customer experience and user experience technology, or "CX and UX."

Marketing executives own customer experience at 44% of the life insurers surveyed and just 22% of the P&C insurers included in the sample.

Life insurers also appear to be more interested in using customer experience to retain the customers they already have, or to meet compliance requirements: Customer service teams own the customer experience at 14% of the life insurers in the sample and just 5% of the P&C insurers.

P&C insurers may place a higher priority on system performance: Technology executives own customer experience at 34% of the P&C insurers and just 14% of the life insurers.

Novarica released the CX/UX ownership survey data to promote a new CX/UX report.

The report also covers topics such as how insurers measure CX/UX effectiveness.
