Michael Fitzgerald will be a Session Speaker on Increasing the Adoption of Data Analytics in Core Insurance Functions at this year’s CPCU Annual Convention on October 14.

Data analytics is a major investment area for insurers. And while it promises a significant return on this investment, adoption is key for success. This session will present practical steps insurers can take to increase the usage and effectiveness of data analytics. Attendees will learn the results of a Celent/The Institutes report, which analyzes the data analytics needs of property-casualty insurance professionals; key trends in big data and technology; adoption efforts across the industry; and the application of various predictive modeling techniques, such as link analysis, classification analysis, text mining and social network analysis through claims and underwriting cases.
