VODAFONE AND TOWERS WATSON LAUNCH TELEMATICS USAGE-BASED INSURANCE SERVICE AS FIRST CUSTOMER SIGNS UP

 

Vodafone and Towers Watson, the global professional services company, are moving forward with a strategic alliance to fast-track the development and introduction of telematics usage-based insurance offerings for motor insurance companies operating outside of North America.

 

At the launch of the service this week, Vodafone and Towers Watson confirmed that UK insurance company AIG Europe Limited, part of the international group AIG, has signed up to run a pilot.

 

The combination of Vodafone Vehicle Connect, the company’s telematics proposition, and Towers Watson’s ‘DriveAbility’ programme, will accelerate the pace at which insurers can get new services to market, and at a competitive cost.

 

With the customer’s prior consent, the solution enables insurers to gather detailed per-second interval data on driving performance, and to offer customers optional value-added services which could in future include automated emergency calls and the tracking of stolen vehicles. Insurers will be able to choose from a range of data collection devices. The service will combine the granular driving data with external information, such as traffic patterns and weather data, to enhance the accuracy and value of the vehicle score.

 

The majority of solutions are expected to be made available to customers on a self-install basis, including options for insurers to offer ‘try before you buy’ applications on smartphones. In countries where self-installation is not yet practical, assisted installation will also be available. User support, including recommendations for improving driving safety, is being offered through existing insurance call centres, smartphones and a dedicated website.

 

“Launching and maintaining successful telematics motor insurance products involves more than simply sourcing a device and considering basic driving events,” cautions Duncan Anderson, global head of pricing and product management at Towers Watson. “From our experience of doing work for clients in the United States, we know that analysing granular data allows a much deeper understanding of the context of driving behaviours, which gives a much greater understanding of the likelihood of claims.  Indeed we have found that our scores can differentiate loss ratio by over a factor of 10 from the best 10% of business to the worst 10%.”

 


 

Erik Brenneis, Director of M2M, Vodafone, said: “With the global reach of Vodafone and Towers Watson, customers can enjoy a consistent delivery and support model throughout many countries.”

 

In recent months, an increasing number of insurers have signalled their ambitions in the telematics market. Consumer interest across Europe has been boosted by the EU gender regulation and the potential for telematics to help improve driving habits and road safety. Ultimately this could lead to cheaper car insurance for a large number of people.

VODAFONE TO MOBILISE NEW ZEALAND POLICE WITH SMART TECHNOLOGY

 

·                 30 minute productivity gain per shift with smart devices

·                 Equates to 520,000 hours each year - the equivalent of 345 frontline officers

 

Vodafone has announced that New Zealand Police has chosen Vodafone New Zealand as its partner for mobile communications in a 10 year fully outsourced deal.

 

From April this year, Vodafone New Zealand will deliver customised mobile services and smartphones to NZ Police, enabling more than 6,000 frontline response, investigation and community Police officers to securely access information about suspects, vehicles and locations while on the move. Almost 4,000 of these officers who need to undertake more complex data entry as part of their job will also be provided with a tablet.

 

Use of the devices will mean frontline staff gain 30 minutes productivity per shift, which equates to approximately 520,000 hours each year - the equivalent of about 345 frontline officers. The expected time savings of 30 minutes per officer per shift will be reinvested into preventative policing activities.

 

The initial cost of the rollout is NZ$4.3 million. Over the next 10 years, New Zealand Police will spend NZ$159 million in operating expenditure to fund the technology rollout. Over the same period, the move is expected to provide New Zealand Police with productivity benefits of NZ$304.8 million. These benefits were identified by New Zealand Police during an 11-month trial involving more than 100 frontline officers in four Police districts.

 

New Zealand Police Commissioner Peter Marshall said: “We believe greater use of modern technology is the way of the future; it’s common sense, and will ensure officers can remain on the frontline rather than returning to stations to complete paperwork.”

 


 

Vodafone New Zealand CEO Russell Stanners said: “We are pleased to be partnering with New Zealand Police to help them realise their mobility goals. Vodafone invests over $100 million a year in our network in New Zealand and this year’s investment programme, focused on delivering speeds up to twice as fast through 42Mb/s technology, means our customers – including Police – can do what they need to do, faster with the latest technology. This will deliver an outcome that directly benefits the security and safety of New Zealand communities.”

VODAFONE AND ORANGE TO CO-INVEST IN FIBRE TO THE HOME IN SPAIN

 

Vodafone Spain announces today that it has signed an agreement with Orange to co-invest in fibre to the home deployment in Spain, with the intention to reach 6 million households and workplaces across 50 major cities by September 2017.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Vodafone and Orange will each deploy street-level fibre (“horizontal” infrastructure) in complementary geographies. The fibre will be owned independently but will share the same technical specifications to ensure compatibility as a single network, and each partner will have guaranteed access to the whole infrastructure.

 

The companies will also each deploy their own in-building fibre (“vertical” infrastructure), guaranteeing access to each other, and will together request access to any third party vertical infrastructure.

 

Vodafone and Orange will provide Spanish consumers with a world-class fibre to the home network, commercially available from January 2014, reaching:

 

·                 800,000 households and workplaces by March 2014;

·                 3 million households and workplaces by September 2015; and

·                 6 million households and workplaces by 2017 – a residential penetration level of around 40%.

 

The combined capital expenditure required to reach 6 million households and workplaces is expected to reach €1 billion. Vodafone and Orange believe the agreement will increase fibre deployment efficiencies and maximise returns on investment for both operators. The agreement is also open to third parties willing to co-invest.

 


 

The companies will work with regulators to ensure:

 

·                 Sharing of vertical infrastructure at prices based on actual cost;

·                 Effective access to Telefónica’s ducts to facilitate rapid mass deployment of horizontal infrastructure; and

·                 Measures to obtain necessary administrative permits in a timely manner.

 

Vodafone Chief Executive for the Southern Europe region, Paolo Bertoluzzo, said: “I am delighted to announce our plans to work with Orange to deploy fibre networks across Spain. This agreement demonstrates Vodafone’s commitment to provide high-speed unified communications services to our customers coupled with our willingness to invest when there are positive returns.”

VODAFONE CONCLUDES GLOBAL SPONSORSHIP REVIEW

 

Vodafone today announced it has concluded a review of its global sponsorship strategy. Key observations from that review include:

 

·

ubiquitous (90%+) awareness of the Vodafone brand in all markets where the company operates, with industry-leading brand attraction levels;

 

 

·

changes in customer engagement preferences as the mobile industry continues to evolve with increasingly sophisticated products and services; and

 

 

·

scope to increase investment in a range of new customer engagement platforms, including digital.

 

In light of these factors, Vodafone intends to transform its local and global sponsorship strategy to deliver an enhanced approach to customer engagement, founded on a new, Vodafone-owned marketing platform, to be developed and implemented throughout 2013.

 

Vodafone Group Chief Commercial Officer Morten Lundal said: “We’ve achieved very high levels of recognition and awareness for the Vodafone brand, supported by our investments in sponsorship. We now want to focus on our own marketing engagement platform to showcase the key attributes of our brand directly to our customers, using digital interactions and live events in ways that are both locally relevant and globally consistent.”

 

As part of this evolution, Vodafone will end its engagement with McLaren after the conclusion of the 2013 season. Morten Lundal continued: “We have been very happy with our engagement with McLaren. Our relationship has been a key ingredient in bringing the Vodafone brand to where it is today. However, our brand is evolving, and we’ve concluded we will have less of a need for this kind of exposure in future. We now look forward to further success and brand engagement with McLaren in 2013.”
