Big Data Set to Transform Insurance Industry As
Post# of 184
As computing technology has gone through massively rapid improvements over the past several decades, generating greater and more complex amounts of data has become the norm in many industries. This has been accompanied by complementary advancements in data processing and handling capabilities that have significantly increased access to data and the proficiency of data analysis.
The insurance industry, a sector that is greatly reliant on data generation and analysis to run effectively, is now poised to see major changes, thanks to Big Data, a concept that refers to the constantly evolving ability to process and analyze massive volumes of complex data sets efficiently and proficiently.
Big Data can also be described as the use of advanced computing models, such as predictive analytics and advanced algorithms, to collect and analyze complex and large data sets. The goal of applying Big Data to data collection and analysis is to uncover associations and trends that could potentially result in improvements and efficiencies in data analysis-reliant industries such as insurance.
Of all the industries that could leverage this technology, the pension and insurance sectors are especially poised to benefit from Big Data’s ability to store and analyze huge volumes of data. These data-storage and analysis capabilities could open the door to innovation and efficiency opportunities in the insurance and pension segments. Furthermore, they could potentially disrupt the traditional ways of designing, marketing, and selling pensions and insurance to customers.
While Big Data has traditionally been used by casualty and property insurers, health and life insurers have also been using the technology in increasing rates, and it is expected to be used in pension plans in the next couple of decades. Actuaries can use Big Data to improve and refine their risk assessments by drawing from more data sources and using new analytical tools to ensure both pension systems and insurance products are designed properly and managed responsibly.
The technology has also helped boost predictive analysis use in insurance by helping actuaries model future outcomes and behavior by analyzing past data, allowing them to gain a more in-depth understanding of how different behaviors affect risk. Although most of Big Data’s insurance-related applications are still in their infancy, the insurance industry has embraced the technology to such a degree that it has led to the birth of a new segment called InsurTech.
The sector now uses new innovations and technologies to mediate between insurers and their clients, resulting in a variety of novel insurance products, new avenues for obtaining insurance policies and new means of dealing with insurance claims.
Providers of Big Data services to players in the insurance industry around the world, such as FingerMotion Inc. (NASDAQ: FNGR), look set to trigger a major revolution in the way the industry operates.
