Bridging gaps in InsurTech and e-commerce integration: Insights from Saudi Arabia by Laith Khrais

“…A quantitative approach was employed, gathering data from 253 professionals in Saudi Arabia’s insurance and e-commerce sectors, including financial managers handling underwriting and investment, compliance officers ensuring regulatory compliance, information technology specialists overseeing system integration and cybersecurity, and policymakers shaping industry regulations. Structural equation modeling revealed that application programming interfaces (β = 0.78, p = 0.020), artificial intelligence (β = 0.70, p = 0.025), and real-time risk assessment (β = 0.62, p = 0.030) significantly facilitate integration, while cybersecurity vulnerabilities (β = 0.57, p = 0.035), outdated infrastructure (β = 0.54, p = 0.040), and regulatory misalignment (β = 0.57, p = 0.035) pose major barriers. …”
