Data and information management

Early adopters of advanced AI technologies are able to reduce fraudalent practices and improve customer service, says Julie Conroy.

Jon Colello, president and head of underwriting, advises carriers to focus on technologies and partnerships reducing data sharing costs.

Organizations continued to have great need for infosec and DevOps talent, but there was little gain for data processing professionals in September.

SVP Jerry Gupta notes the emerging technology has increasingly been used in distribution and claims straight-through processing.

Enterprises remain committed to building on their legacy infrastructures, but the massive influx of data poses new challenges to incorporating it all.

The primary uses are for sending alerts, notifications and reminders, marketing messages, streamlining account registration and protecting accounts with two-factor authentication.

Spending on core systems and digital innovation is high, but CIOs are spending a lot of time meeting data security needs, says Novarica.

The reinsurer is set to offer life and health clients the startup’s mobile-based musculoskeletal rehabilitation program for policyholders.

Showing only modest gains is the data center systems area. Gartner expects that sector to see a 1.8 percent increase in spending, up from 1.7 estimated growth in 2017.

To meet the challenge, CIOs must understand both what will be expected of them, and what they truly aspire to be, says Gartner's Peter Sondergaard.

The organizations say the cloud-based system will help insurers expand their markets through better use of data.

The company is creating a division that will develop products, research and partnerships for a field that connects everything from driverless cars to light bulbs to the web.

The usage-based insurance startup believes that driving frequency is a crucial data point for carriers.

Artificial intelligence, intelligent apps, immersive-experience devices among Gartner’s technologies to watch.

The offering uses mimicked version of an information system to fool hackers, says Chris Albery of the HITRUST organization.

Pie Insurance, a worker's compensation coverage startup with entirely digital distribution, will launch next year, says CEO John Swigart.

Proposals included preventing homes built in flood plains after 2020 from obtaining insurance under the program, sending them to seek private coverage.

Data and analytics company is partnering with life insurers to develop products to automate the application and underwriting process.

The ability of modern tech entrants to analyze insurers' large data sets is a key part of their value propositions.

Artificial intelligence, followed by digital security and the IoT are the most differentiating technologies, but also among the hardest to hire for, say IT leaders.
