In a groundbreaking announcement, Lockton, the world's largest privately held insurance brokerage firm, has launched Lockton SAGE, a cutting-edge unified business intelligence platform. This platform is specially crafted to leverage Lockton's extensive proprietary data, advanced analytics, AI capabilities, and specialized expertise, enhancing decision-making processes for its clients.
The Evolution of Lockton SAGE
Initially implemented at Lockton Re, the SAGE platform has now extended its functionalities across all Lockton's divisions in the United States, encompassing risk management solutions, personnel solutions, and reinsurance offerings.
As many businesses face increasingly complex decisions regarding their workforce, finances, and risk management, they encounter scattered data and siloed insights, compounded by a rising tide of autonomous AI tools that fail to provide a comprehensive context. According to Ron Lockton, President and CEO, "No company is better positioned than Lockton to support its clients in the AI era. However, technology alone never provides an advantage; true impact comes from combining powerful intelligence with exceptional people."
Lockton SAGE is designed for a seamless approach, utilizing AI-driven features to highlight key trends, priorities, and recommendations tailored to each client’s business needs. The transition from data to decision is instantaneous, linking insurance policies, quotes, claims, and risks by integrating AI analytics with human expertise to deliver timely and relevant advice.
