Versicherungen: Modernisierung mit Analytics

Versicherungen stehen massiv unter Druck. Negative Zinsen und ein hoher regulatorischer Druck führen auch nicht gerade zu Euphorie (versicherungswirtschaft-heute.de). Die Branche klagt, all das sei operativ gar nicht zu schaffen. Was tun? Niedrigzinsumfeld ändern? Geht nicht. Regulatorik beeinflussen? Geht nur partiell. Also bleibt nur, an Effizienz und Automatisierung von Prozessen

Innovation in reinsurance – no longer an oxymoron

Insurance is a tough marketplace, but in many respects reinsurance is tougher! Today, the reinsurance industry is faced with an unprecedented number of challenges especially with what appears to be an increasing frequency and severity of man-made and natural catastrophes. To combat these challenges, reinsurers are turning to technology for

Advantages of a standard insurance data model

In my first blog article I explained that many insurance companies have implemented a standard data model as base for their business analytics data warehouse (DWH) solutions. But why should a standard data model be more appropriate than an individual one designed especially for a certain insurance company?

Back to basics

One of my colleagues often asks me “What’s new in insurance”. For an industry that is risk adverse, change does not come easily. In the past we have discussed innovations concerning telematics, drones, wearables devices and even weather data. However when he asked me last week and I responded that

The era of smart insurance is dawning

What if a reckless driver adopted a more responsible approach because the car insurance pricing was based on driving habits? What if the senior from next door had the insurance payments based on kilometres driven, resulting in significant savings? This may be reality sooner than you think.
