Topic

Big Data and ML Data Management in the Insurance Space

Abstract

Big Data Management and ML in the Insurance Industry Long before the term big data was coined, the insurance industry was dealing with large volumes of structured and unstructured data. Fast forward to the Internet of Things and the volume and velocity of data is coming fast and furiously. Add to that the highly regulated nature of Insurance, and you have a complex and every changing environment. How are insurers and providers dealing with this influx of data? How do we balance that with meeting the needs of many stakeholders with different expectations of quality and usability? Learn how we are using Big Data and Machine Learning to improve the quality of data we receive and improve the products and services we deliver.
