The next leap forward for data analytics within the insurance sector

Insurance Business America | March 31, 2020

As a data-heavy industry, how insurance can process documents and extract the valuable data insights which these documents hold has been a significant consideration for a number of years. Across the globe, data and software companies are rising to the challenge, helping to mitigate this critical problem organizations face. Nay Odutola (pictured), area vice president EMEA at Hyperscience has been involved with the ‘software as a service’ (SaaS) industry for about 15 years, and with the AI and machine learning segments of this sector for the last six to seven years. He has always seen this sector as a kind of eternal university, Odutola said, where the demand to stay ahead of the curve is imperative and can only be achieved through continuous education and re-education. If companies and individuals do not evolve, they will get left behind, he said, and the focus on ‘continuous improvement’ is what has led him to the AI and machine learning industries.

Idelic | January 19, 2023

Idelic Inc. recently announced the launch of Idelic Insurance Agency, LLC, a technology-driven managing general agent (MGA) aimed at providing commercial fleets with tailored insurance coverage. The insurance pricing will reflect the fleets’ risk improvement by using the Idelic Program, a comprehensive approach to improving driver safety and reducing crashes. Idelic Insurance Agency also aims to provide a modern approach to improving insurance outcomes by allowing fleets to use technology and processes to reduce losses. The insurance agency will price renewals based on the fleets’ successful adoption and results. The Idelic Program consists of two major components: Safety Suite® and Driver Safety Playbook. Safety Suite® is the best driver performance management platform in the trucking industry. It collects driver risk data and uses machine learning algorithms to identify high-risk drivers. Meanwhile, the Driver Safety Playbook is an excellent guide to engaging drivers, providing coaching and step-by-step professional development plans made by working with insurers and trucking's safest fleets. On average, fleets utilizing Idelic Program can witness a 20% decrease in preventable crashes in the first year. "Commercial auto fleet insurance is inherently complex with a multitude of nuances from fleet to fleet. The process of evaluating risks has traditionally relied on underwriter experience and judgment, but insurers are increasingly looking for a more data-driven way to evaluate risks. Idelic Insurance Agency will do just that," stated Michael Gramm, Senior Vice President of Insurance at Idelic Insurance Agency. "By working closely with fleets that choose to use the Idelic Program, we can better leverage critical driver behavior data to quote policies that reflect their reduced crash risk," he added.
