Business Intelligence in the Insurance Sector
As in all sectors, the importance of data and Business Intelligence is now well established: data becomes strategic information and allows for better operational management.
The insurance sector, by definition, is entirely data-driven: customer demographic data, their policies, the services they subscribe to, and even financial data regarding the economic situation of individuals and families.
Despite this evidence, however, the insurance market is one of the most traditional and conservative sectors, which is reflected, of course, in the use of innovative technologies.
The turning point has only occurred in recent years: more and more companies are adopting a data-driven approach to improve their operations and provide customers with increasingly personalized service.
In terms of technologies adopted, artificial intelligence (AI-driven insurance) and machine learning (ML) are certainly utilized in the insurance sector to improve the ability to analyze large amounts of data and transform it into valuable information for making informed and timely decisions.
Data-driven approach: how to make it a competitive factor in the insurance sector?
Different advantages associated with the use and analysis of data are recognized:
Better understanding of risk coverages
Data analysis provides detailed information on risks associated with specific activities, customer behaviors, market trends, and weather conditions that can affect the likelihood of claims. Result? Customized policies are created.
Cost reduction
Possibility of reducing operational costs in areas amendable from the perspective of monetary expenditures. Consequences? More affordable rates for customers and better competitiveness of the companies themselves in the market.
Fraud prevention
In the case of fraud detection through machine learning, data analysis helps companies identify suspicious behaviors and anomalies in compensation claims.
Result? Fraud cases identified and preventive measures adopted.
Better claims management
Identification of issues in claims management processes and adoption of preventive measures to avoid recurrence in the future.
