Analytics has been a hot topic for a few years now, and for good reason. More than half of analytics leaders reported a correlation between their organizations analytics initiatives and seeing a “significant improvement” in their competitive standing.
In the coming year, more than three quarters of that same group plan to expand or modernize their IT infrastructure to support analytics, according to a study from Forbes and Cisco.
In the insurance industry specifically, claims organizations are seeing varying results with their analytics programs.
According to a McKinsey report, while more than half of CEOs at a variety of major P&C insurance carriers that they surveyed consider analytics a top priority, only one in six responded that analytics was making a large impact.
The reasons for these struggles varied, including lack of alignment with strategic goals, poor integration and adoption or poor data quality.
