According to the Capgemini’s WIR 2019, approximately 83% of the consumers are under moderate-high exposure of cyber-attacks that can put personal data/information at risk; so are around 87% of the businesses.

Careful consideration of the IoT based business model that is critical to orchestration of an extended value proposition.  

Model or create behavior patterns and risk groups, rating algorithms that are plugged into the product design and pricing process for underwriting

Couple sensors and touchpoints properly with insured objects and risks, with an appropriate platform for real-time insight generation 

Devise an appropriate consortia strategy with a number of vendors and service providers like device manufacturers, utility service providers, telecom companies, and so on.

Devise strategies to upsell and cross-sell add-on services, engaging their customer base, to remain competitive and add more revenue streams.

Gauge and define customers’ needs with the exact application area guiding prioritization of which use case of value chain process to tackle. 

Focus on meaningful customer to drive uptake of IoT devices. Establishing trust with proper consent verification is the first step towards that.   

Bring the data silos together and combining with already existing customer data. Ensure that systems are scalable and can work with Big Data.
