Data Management in Insurance for the AI Era
The insurance industry stands on the brink of transformation with AI, promising streamlined operations and increased efficiency. However, many companies struggle with outdated data management practices that hinder AI’s full potential. We believe a modern, agile approach to data management, in familiar tools like Excel, is the answer to ensuring insurance firms can leverage high-quality data to unlock AI’s benefits.
Business Challenge
In the AI era, the potential to automate and enhance both front-office and back-office operations in insurance is substantial. AI’s user-friendly technology can save significant time in completing key operations, representing a transformative opportunity for the insurance sector. However, harnessing AI’s capabilities heavily relies on the quality of the available data, and thus, the data operations in place.
Industry leaders often express frustration as they attempt to implement the clear benefits AI offers. Their data operations frequently fall short of meeting these challenges. We observe leaders doubling down on outdated approaches, resulting in extensive data programs, complex technology stacks, and prolonged delivery timelines that are poorly understood. These programs demonstrate action but rarely deliver results and are not designed for the AI era.
A modern approach to data operations in insurance starts with understanding complexity and applying the correct solutions. The complexity in insurance data management stems from the diversity of data sources (internal and external), various formats (structured and unstructured), and different delivery timeframes (real-time, daily, weekly, monthly) that need to be integrated and managed.
Managing this data supply is crucial in the AI context, where data provenance and explainability are key to ensuring safe deployment. Additionally, the rapid changes in suppliers, systems, and technologies in the insurance ecosystem necessitate a swift and efficient data operations approach.
