Mobility: avoiding the data deluge

Improving maintenance, delivering standout customer experience and smartly managing the supply chain: data promises to help mobility fly further in 2021 and beyond. But as more information is collected, how can it be put to best use? And what new risks does an abundance of data create for mobility businesses and insurers?

How 5G is shaping a new era for mobility

Fifth generation technology enables mobile devices to process more data at lightning fast speeds. In the short run that means improved functionality and faster mobile downloads, streaming and gaming. In the longer run it will enable connected vehicles, autonomous cars, real time access to information about how to make greener local journeys, and many other advances across the mobility spectrum.

The robotic software revolution and mobility

Software robotics are helping companies streamline processes, cut costs, and free up employees to focus on higher value tasks. Today they are increasingly applied to support back office processes at mobility firms, and they are likely to enable more operational and front-office tasks too.
