Data quality

In measuring the volume of data, we have blown past exabytes and are now calculating volumes in zettabytes -- an explosion that's upending traditional processes.

The cloud is creating configuration and data visibility problems, according to a report from the Cloud Security Alliance, an organization that defines best practices for cloud security.

Effective management of reference data is a key part of data management overall. If it’s not done well or not done at all, the result can be poor data quality.

There will be many new data sources and tools available, increasing exposure to cyber risk in the world.

It is a powerful positioning for insurance carriers to view themselves as data companies first, incorporating that information across all facets of the organization.

Aetna has signed on to the Synaptic Health Alliance, a group started by Humana and four other insurers earlier this year and which is also adding hospitals.

One of the most important aspects of data management is ensuring data quality. Without this, capabilities such as machine learning and advanced analytics might yield faulty results.

Carriers are looking to deploy AI and RPA tools to help defend against the onslaught.

Companies are putting greater emphasis on data quality to gain full value from their data assets.

Traditional tools must be supported by techniques such as machine learning to increase the reach and productivity of these initiatives, says Protiviti

New software the company is rolling out for more utilitarian UAVs may play a more lasting role in its attempts to spread the reach of its chips.

Managing this crucial component of data management will help carriers get better results from their analytics, AI and blockchain initiatives.

Driving this transition will be the growing number of Internet of Things devices and the rapid maturation of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.

CIO Scott Noerr is constructing a framework for digital innovation at the specialty carrier.

But chief data officers find that with more respect comes greater responsibility.

Vendor will provide insurer with an automated cloud-based platform offering portfolio data, accounting entries and reporting tools.

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

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

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

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