Challenges

The insurance industry has always been highly dependant on its ability to leverage data. For insurers, understanding patterns in their data is essential to measuring risk and making accurate predictions about expected outcomes, so they can best serve their clients while remaining profitable and compliant. However, the ability to gather and analyze data is only part of the equation. Many insurers continue to struggle with business challenges such as: 

    • Data that is disparate, disintegrated, and inconsistent, which is not ideal for generating valuable insights 
    • Lack of knowledge of data tools and techniques, which makes it difficult to innovate 
    • Limited ownership and accountability of systems, which makes it difficult to modernize 
    • Limited infrastructure and systemic flexibility and scalability, which can slow processes and increase overall operational costs

Solution

To remain compliant and enable effective, sustainable, strategic success, insurance companies must be truly data-driven: leveraging best-in-class, modern data technologies to meet their business outcomes.

BDO Lixar has decades of in-depth experience assisting insurers across Canada work through their most pressing business challenges, as well as decades of technology and data experience. It is through this unique combination of industry and technical expertise that we developed InsurHub, designed to help our insurance clients evolve and take their data to the next level.
