Summary

AXA, one of France’s largest insurers, modernized its property and casualty claims process with a next-generation digital claims platform built on Microsoft Azure Cloud. The transformation aimed to improve customer and broker experience, operational agility, cost transparency, and enable end-to-end claims visibility. Key features include self-service customer portals, automated First Notice of Loss (FNOL), real-time coverage confirmation, and more than 100 APIs to accelerate claims registration and settlement. Over 40% of claims are now filed digitally, with settlement and coverage information provided in seconds. The cloud-powered environment enables AXA to accurately track the cost of claims for the first time, improving financial stewardship and supporting the company’s growth ambitions. The program, delivered in partnership with Accenture, demonstrates how cloud and automation can help insurers meet evolving customer and broker expectations.
