Sutherland Unveils Insurance AI Hub to Break Industry’s ‘Pilot Trap’

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sutherland, a global leader in business and digital transformation, today announced the launch of its Insurance AI Hub, an agentic AI ecosystem engineered to solve the scale, compliance, and ROI challenges insurers face in operationalizing AI.

Unlike generalized AI platforms retrofitted for insurance or siloed tools that rarely make it beyond the demo stage, Sutherland’s solution is trained on real insurance workflows, tuned for regulatory demands, and already being deployed by enterprises today.

Now with a comprehensive suite of specialized AI agents engineered for Life & Annuity, Group Benefits, Property & Casualty, and Specialty lines, the Insurance AI Hub lets insurers break free from proof-of-concept paralysis and finally scale AI with confidence.

Sutherland’s AI offerings come with important enterprise guardrails already in place, featuring a human-in-the-loop framework, audit trails, and model transparency built in. It provides a true “ecosystem” purpose-built for insurance—from the infrastructure and models selected to the tailored use cases.

The Insurance AI Hub is already delivering impact across the policy lifecycle:

• Agentic AI for Claims & Enrollment streamlines complex disability and life claims with human-in-the-loop precision—cutting cycle times by up to 30%, reducing leakage by 12%, and lifting claimant satisfaction by 10+%.

• Voice AI engages customers through natural, human-like conversations across claims, servicing, and sales—boosting contact center efficiency by 20%, improving conversion by up to 3%, and increasing NPS by 10+ points.

• Connected Underwriting empowers underwriters with AI-driven triage and appetite matching—delivering 30% efficiency gains, 16% higher win rates, and 3.7x growth in high-appetite business.

• Cognilink Document Intelligence transforms manual, document-heavy workflows into automated, insight-driven processes—cutting OPEX by 30%, improving indemnity by 1–1.5%, and reducing leakage by 10–12%.

“Insurers don’t need more AI pilots—they need outcomes,” said Banwari Agarwal, CEO of Insurance, Banking and Financial Services at Sutherland. “The Insurance AI Hub was built with insurance DNA from day one. It delivers scalable agentic automation that understands the industry’s complexities, integrates into fragmented IT environments, and provides measurable results—not just demos.”

At its core, the Insurance AI Hub uses a modular, plug-and-play architecture that allows each AI agent to operate autonomously or collaboratively across claims, underwriting, servicing, and renewals. This enables insurers to accelerate adoption while maintaining full transparency, bias controls, and compliance alignment with SOC 2, HIPAA, and NAIC regulations.

With most insurers having already contracted with hyperscalers and tested GenAI in narrow pilots, the industry now faces its biggest hurdle: trusting the tools to scale and provide measurable ROI. The Sutherland Insurance AI Hub was built to bridge that gap.
