About This Webinar
The insurance industry is no stranger to geospatial data and analytics. Today’s top P&C carriers rely on a mix of geocoding and GIS-powered risk assessment to price policies, manage claims, optimize reinsurance strategies, and more. But with all of the innovation that’s happened in the industry in recent years, many insurers are experiencing geospatial fatigue. The complexity of the data sourcing, cleaning, updating, and sharing workflows necessary to effectively implement top geospatial strategies across an organization is rapidly draining time and resources, and some insurers are struggling to see the ROI. Combined with the effort needed to optimize analytics processes, cost, and computing, this lack of data lineage across departments has many carriers feeling like detailed geospatial analysis is unsustainable for their organizations.

In this webinar, we’ll break down the causes of geospatial fatigue in insurance and explore how carriers can overcome these challenges and build a sustainable analytics process with a unified source of AI-powered property intelligence.
