Many (re)insurers refer to themselves today as data-driven organizations, but the reality is that most are not. This perpetuates much of the industry’s traditional legacy mentality.

For an industry that relies heavily on accurate information, most (re)insurance companies today don’t have enterprise-wide big data strategies.
