MUMBAI, India, Oct. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading IT services, consulting, and business solutions organization, today announced an Android device ready version of its TCS Digital Insurance Agent Solution, an innovative mobile application that enables insurance agents and brokers to perform sales in real-time, provide immediate customer service, and stay informed and connected while they're on the go. The application is designed to leverage native tablet features, such as camera, voice recorder and location services for agent business transactions. The TCS Digital Insurance Agent Solution can be leveraged for key functions including prospecting, lead management, sales projection, measuring of sales results and showcasing product capabilities.

The TCS Digital Insurance Agent Solution is available as a native iPad app, and Hybrid app for iPad and Android based tablets.

"We see this tool as a real game-changer that will transform the way agents do their jobs while delivering a great customer experience."

"A recent Novarica survey revealed that 60 percent of insurers will add new mobile capabilities for policyholders and agents in 2013," said Karlyn Carnahan, Principal at Novarica. "With mobile now incorporating tablets, insurers are seeing mobile capabilities as essential to their information value chains.  Agents are seeking tools that improve interaction effectiveness from presentation to generating illustrations to completing applications. Mobile applications are an effective business tool and communication channel to streamline an agent's job by creating efficiencies, improving customer interactions, and allowing agents to conduct business from any location."

The upgrade of the TCS Digital Insurance Agent Solution is the latest in a series of product innovations from the company's Insurance Innovation Lab – a state-of-the-art environment for customers to test new ideas and trial new solutions.
