Marsh, a global insurance brokerage and risk management firm, announced the first commercial Blockchain solution for proof of insurance, Business Wire reported April 16.
With this application of Blockchain technology, Marsh aims to transfigure the certificate of insurance process “from complicated and manual to streamlined and transparent”. This will reportedly allow customers to improve business functions such as hiring contractors and transferring risk, while increasing certainty of coverage.
The project is a partnership between Marsh, IBM, ACORD, and ISN. ACORD is a global standards-setting body for the insurance and financial services industries. ISN is a provider of contractor and supplier information management services.
The new proof of insurance solution is being developed on the open source Hyperledger Fabric technology and IBM Blockchain Platform. Sastry Durvasula, chief digital officer and chief data and analytics officer at Marsh, expressed optimism about the collaboration:
“Marsh sees great opportunity in leveraging Blockchain technology to better serve our clients by maximizing efficiency and creating new opportunities in the insurance value chain. We believe strategic engagements such as this one with IBM, ACORD, and ISN will help accelerate the adoption of further Blockchain applications benefiting our clients across industries.”
