In today’s world, content stored on consumers’ devices like pictures, videos, music, and other important documents are arguably more important than the device itself. A mobile device can always be replaced, but if photos and other important files are lost, they are most likely gone forever.
The increase of smartphone users year over year has led to more and more digital content, which has increased the vulnerabilities around personal data and hardware protection. Consumers want to feel at ease knowing their digital content is secure. This has created an opportunity for insurance providers to demonstrate that they are the trusted stewards of consumers’ digital data and files.
The ability to safeguard content in a personal cloud is now a necessity rather than a luxury for consumers. Insurance companies have taken note of this growing trend.. In fact, according to a survey administered by Cisco, 84% of participants indicated they care about privacy and care for their data.
In a recent Insurance Innovation Reporter article, our President and CEO, Jeff Miller had the opportunity to explain how insurance providers can use personal cloud solutions to provide value for consumers. Consumers’ massive use of mobile devices has created an opportunity for insurers to continue to prove themselves as the trusted guardians of their customers’ most precious content-both tangible and digital.
Insurance providers have an opportunity to reinvent the traditional insurance bundle by incorporating a personal cloud solution like Synchronoss Personal Cloud into their existing offering to provide customers a simple to manage, all-in-one insurance plan.
Synchronoss Personal Cloud is the Solution for Insurance Providers Worldwide
Synchronoss Personal Cloud is a white-label platform that enables users to backup, sync, and organize photos, videos, contacts and other digital content and files between any device and the cloud. Our feature-rich personal cloud platform enables insurance providers to deliver value-added solutions and bundles, improve onboarding and upgrades, safeguard consumers’ valuable digital content, reduce insurance churn and increase renewals.
Last year, Allstate Protection Plans selected the Synchronoss Personal Cloud solution for integration into select device protection plan offerings. The addition of personal cloud gave global customers the ability to back up and manage their valuable digital assets – contacts, photos, videos, music, documents, messages and more – from any protected Android or iOS device.
Additionally, Synchronoss’ Personal Cloud Solution has also been fully integrated with Pocket Geek by Assurant to provide an enhanced device and content protection solution to a leading North American carrier. The integration enables customers of Assurant clients to conveniently back up all personal data from their devices through Assurant’s Pocket Geek device protection application. Customers can protect and restore their content in case of device damage or loss as well as access new, valuable features such as highlights, flashback, tag and search, photo editing, and photo printing capabilities that are bundled into their protection program and accessed via the Pocket Geek Cloud companion app.
