Valen Analytics Demonstrates 35% Year-over-Year Growth in Data Consortium

Growth Mirrors Industry’s Race for Data to Unlock the Most Predictive Horsepower

DENVER – March 21, 2019 – Valen Analytics®, an Insurity company that provides proprietary data, analytics and predictive modeling for P/C insurers, today reported the YOY growth of its data consortium to $90.5 billion across all standard Property and Casualty lines, up from $67 billion in 2018. Most notable growth is seen in Commercial Auto which grew a staggering 266%, while Workers Compensation climbed 57%. This YOY growth derives from the highly predictive, actionable insights that the consortium delivers for real-time decision making. Dozens of third-party data sources and a diverse group of more than 60 insurers contribute to the Valen Data Consortium.

Insurers en masse are unlocking the predictive power needed for real-time actionable insights for quoting, underwriting, and claims handling. However, the prevalence of new primary data sources has left insurers looking for options that offer the best return on investment. As found in Valen’s recent proprietary study, synthetic variables appended with Valen’s consortium data demonstrated up to 13 times more predictive power than variables built with policy-only data. Synthetic variables are built from computations of more than one variable, made possible by leveraging large and diverse datasets.

Automation, powered by data, has the potential to replace expensive manual business validation processes, scale operations and improve customer experience and pricing. This need for automation will continue to fuel demand for data analytics solutions in the underserved small commercial market accounts estimated at $150 billion in premium. Valen is uniquely positioned to support insurers looking to gain a share of this market.

“Our journey started with the premise that the world would be increasingly fed by data,” said Kirstin Marr, President at Valen. “Today, the need to be analytically driven is an industry-wide phenomenon. We are pleased to showcase to insurers the value of partnering around data at a time when there’s no dearth of data sources, and enabling them to become market leaders through access to the most predictive insights.”

Valen’s consortium, which offers transactional, behavioral data such as risk profile, attributes, claims history and data from third party sources, enables evidence-based decisions to create measurable results. Valen offers a full array of capabilities to support insurers’ analytics teams with data services to evaluate quality and cost/benefit, providing consortium variables, and deploying insurers’ models. Valen also offers full-service data and predictive modeling services, and InsureRight Platform is best in class for business integration, monitoring, measurement and overall data analytics governance. The InsureRight Platform also integrates with DataHouse, Insurity’s award-winning solution with the most comprehensive data model in the insurance industry and end-to-end support for Commercial, Personal and Specialty lines of business.
