How Big Data can save the insurance world

‘Big Data‘ refers to the emergence of extremely large data sets marked by the ‘three Vs’: velocity, variety and volume. This is inextricably linked to analytics programs, and is already used in many industries to analyze behavior as well as to make predictions, for instance in stock markets and consumer decisions.

Insurers can profit from this trend, too – by feeding a large number of real-life data into an analytical model, IT departments could more accurately segment customers, give early warnings on defaulting or fraudulent behavior, or determine the likelihood of accidents and disasters in any given circumstance.

However, turning Big Data to your advantage requires meeting crucial milestones. This includes making sure the data you feed into a system is correct and doesn’t contradict itself, as well as installing the right solution to start refining and patterning the data. Luckily for you, we at Oxygen can help insurers succeed at this daunting task and can let you gain a crucial, and soon necessary, edge over your competitors. Curious? Why don’t you drop by or get in touch?

AI in insurance: science fiction or the next big thing?

Artificial intelligence or AI is one of the emerging technologies that is part of the so-called ‘4th Industrial Revolution’ (along with augmented reality, Big Data, ‘everything as a service’, 5G and more). In the most narrow sense, no one has achieved true AI yet, which would be the creation of an artificial consciousness capable of or exceeding human intelligence and self-awareness.
