The insurance industry is inundated with data from a variety of sources and providers. With the introduction of new and varied data sources, underwriters are challenged to collect and combine the right mix of available data and strategically and appropriately apply it to risk assessment, customer experience, and policy turnaround time. The traditional underwriting processes is reliant on underwriters who are tasked with manually collecting, combining, and reviewing documentation. The reality is that highly skilled resources have limited capacity to consider historical performance or past experiences due to the manual effort involved in review of documentation. The end-to-end process to generate a policy can take up to 10-20 business days.
