    Insurance Applications

    Financial Services Operations out-of-the-box applications help Policy holders expect a seamless journey and fierce protection of their financial data.

    Financial Services Operations Core data model

    The FSO data model, which is available as the Financial Services Operations Core application, stores customer data and helps FSO applications handle service requests. In addition to the tables included with each FSO application, this data model extends and uses tables from the ServiceNow AI Platform® and the Customer Service Management application. Separate tables are available for business and consumer data.

    Insurance Claims Core data model

    The Insurance Claims Core application includes a framework that provides generic claims data model components and approval engine that your organization can use to create flexible data structures that meet your business needs.

    Workspaces

    Relationship managers and back-office agents use the FSO workspace to work on all aspects of their cases. Workspace enables agents to do the following:
    • Focus on high-priority items
    • Easily navigate across tasks
    • See all details related to a case in one place
    • Monitor workload and performance

    Designer flows for Financial Services Operations applications

    Several predefined workflows for cases are available with each FSO application. When a customer requires a service, a relationship manager initiates a case and updates its details, triggering the workflow. The flow triggers various tasks from the case and the assignment rules route these tasks to the appropriate back-office agents. The agents work on these tasks to fulfill the treasury product request. The agents use the case playbook or case and task forms to work on them.

    Playbooks for Financial Services Operations applications

    Using the case playbook, relationship managers and agents review and work on their cases and tasks. The playbook provides step-by-step guidance to resolve processes and enable employees to easily manage the lifecycle of cases by guiding them through sequences of tasks.
