In a world where consumers continue to share and trade more data and information in exchange for services, it’s no surprise that an abundance of data now exists. The data itself is of little value; the insights and intelligence found within the data are what provide true intelligence. Data insights are valuable to business in a wide variety of industries as they help drive cost efficiencies, open new revenue possibilities and provide new engaging experiences for consumers. One industry that is benefiting significantly from data, particularly real-time data, is the auto insurance industry. By having access to telematics data of drivers’ behaviors, auto insurers can transform their business model to ensure higher profit, all while providing digital offerings better suited and personalized for their customers such as mileage-based insurance, usage-based insurance, and more.
