ShanghaiJune 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the China Electronics and Information Industry Federation officially announced the results of the Data Management Capability Maturity Model (DCMM) assessment. AXA Tianping Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “AXA Tianping”) successfully passed the DCMM Level 4 (Quantitative Management Level) certification. As the second foreign-invested insurance company in China to obtain this qualification, AXA Tianping’s data management capabilities have officially entered the domestic industry-leading ranks, marking a new milestone on the path of data-driven high-quality development.
National Authority Certification
DCMM (Data Management Capability Maturity Model) is the first national-level official standard in China’s data management field. Level 4 “Quantitative Management Level” requires enterprises to achieve systematic, standardized, quantifiable, and refined operations across the entire data management process, representing an advanced level that very few companies in the domestic insurance industry can attain.
This certification means that AXA Tianping has become one of the very few property and casualty insurance institutions to receive this recognition, marking the establishment of a scientific quantitative management system covering capability areas such as data strategy, data governance, data quality, and data standards. It signifies a key leap from “passive governance” to “active empowerment,” providing a solid “digital intelligence” foundation for business decisions, risk prevention and control, and customer service.
AXA Tianping CEO Zuo Weihao stated: “We regard data as a core strategic asset. Through quantitative management and intelligent governance, we are moving data from being ‘manageable’ to ‘value-adding.’ This not only allows us to refine products with more precise insights and enhance customer experience with smarter services but also protects customer rights with stringent security standards. We will continue to strive, actively responding to the national strategic deployment of the ‘Five Major Articles,’ injecting trustworthy digital intelligence momentum into the construction of a financial powerhouse and the high-quality development of the real economy.”
Benchmark for Foreign-Invested Insurance Companies
According to official public data, among tens of thousands of DCMM-certified units nationwide, only a few have passed Level 4 (Quantitative Management Level) or above certification. AXA Tianping’s inclusion carries dual benchmark significance:
First, leading in a specific track: As the second property and casualty insurance company in the industry to receive this certification, AXA Tianping’s data governance capabilities in complex business scenarios such as auto insurance and property insurance have been validated at the national level, establishing its first-tier position in the digital transformation track of property insurance.
Second, a breakthrough as a foreign-invested model: As one of the few foreign-invested insurance institutions to obtain certification, AXA Tianping has demonstrated that its data management system not only adapts to local Chinese regulatory requirements but also possesses international efficiency, setting a benchmark for the localized operations of foreign-invested insurance companies.
Data Management Practices
AXA Tianping’s data management capabilities were not built overnight. Since 2020, AXA Tianping has strategically positioned data as a core strategic asset. While strictly adhering to regulatory guidelines, it has built and improved a data platform supporting business and data strategies, actively introduced AI to explore scenarios for empowerment, and leveraged its foreign-invested characteristics to strengthen data culture, ensuring that “data literacy” is more than just an empty slogan.
- Organizational Leadership: AXA Tianping took the lead in establishing a Data Management Committee, which formulates the company’s data strategy from the top down, regularly reviews data management topics, and promotes the construction of the company-wide data governance system and special initiatives to improve data quality, ensuring the orderly progress of the company’s data management work.
- Data Platform: AXA Tianping continues to build and optimize the OneData platform, actively cleaning, processing, and aggregating data from various sources. It builds specialized data marts based on different business and management domains, provides data tools and technical support, and strengthens the company’s data foundation, offering basic guarantees for the company’s digital intelligence and data applications.
- AI Exploration: AXA Tianping explores the use of AI and other technologies to improve the analysis and management of data quality, consolidates various data management knowledge, and lowers the barrier for employees to use data. By utilizing AI for data queries and other methods, it increases employee enthusiasm for using data, driving the upgrade of data governance from “manual-led” to “human-machine collaboration,” improving both governance precision and efficiency.
- Cultural Immersion: AXA Tianping holds a Data Open Day annually and convenes monthly data management working group meetings, with active participation from members across departments and institutions. This ensures timely awareness of the latest regulatory updates, the progress of the company’s data management work, and the key challenges and focal points of data management efforts.
Future Outlook
Looking ahead, AXA Tianping will closely align with the “Five Major Articles” of technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance, and digital finance. Leveraging the mature DCMM system, it will continue to unleash the value of data elements: deepening innovation in new energy vehicle insurance and green insurance, optimizing intelligent claims and customer service experiences, driving cost reduction and efficiency gains through data operations, and safeguarding user rights with high-standard data governance.
As a “benchmark force” in the digital transformation of the property and casualty insurance industry, AXA Tianping will continue to exert a “multiplier effect,” demonstrating the responsibility and commitment of foreign-invested insurance companies on the journey of high-quality financial development in the new era.
