Abstract

The idea of insurance was discovered several millennia before Christ (BC). In the second and third millennia BC, traders from China and Babylonia practiced shifting or dispersing risks. Today, insurance is the foundation of the economy, but expanding its penetration is difficult in emerging nations. The fourth insurance industry revolution in the developed world was sparked by the recent advent of IoT, Big Data, and Insurtech. To boost insurance coverage in Kenya, this study examines the problems with and potential solutions to cloud computing. To identify the themes and factors pertaining to problems and solutions in implementing cloud computing in Kenya insurance business, this study used a systematic literature review. To find pertinent material from Google Scholar, a number of keywords were employed. The filtered studies were examined based on inclusion and exclusion standards. This article outlined many obstacles to InsurTech adoption in the Kenya insurance sector as well as potential remedies. The proposals could help policymakers improve the insurance industry service delivery.
