Supporting Innovation

Supporting your innovation journey

Recent world events have exposed the reliance on legacy operating models used in the insurance industry and embracing digital technology change is a challenge for the sector.

Moving forward, leading insurers will be the ones leveraging digitalisation and AI, with accurate and controlled data at the foundation of their transformation.

Dun & Bradstreet’s vast structured and enhanced global dataset, and deep insurance industry expertise, makes us an ideal partner to support your innovation plans.

Commercial and Specialty Underwriting Solutions

Marine underwriting

Dun & Bradstreet partners with Concirrus, to transform billions of records of cargo movements to actionable, near real-time insights into portfolio risk exposure in the following areas:

  • Accumulation of cargo and values onboard each vessel, and in ports and warehouses.
  • Ownership, company linkages and counterparties involved in each journey.

Commercial Insurance for SMEs

SMEs are typically underinsured, with around 44% not having business insurance.

D&B’s Unified Risk View (combined consumer + commercial data) improves pricing accuracy through better understanding of an SME’s financial risk, both before underwriting and monitoring during the customer lifecycle.

How data can help insurers make smarter decisions

Data is crucial for making informed insurance decisions. 

  1. When evaluating risk, insurers can evaluate data points like predictive analytics regarding business failure and/or financial metrics that review credit, cash flow, ESG credentials can help to inform underwriting and premium decisions. In this case, data ensures fair pricing and helps insurers assess the likelihood of claims.

  2. When looking to better understand customer needs and improve the customer experience, insurers can collect and use data to tailor products and services.

  3. The insurance industry is highly regulated and must comply with laws and rules set by multiple groups. Data can help surface risks which would make them incompliant if they were to insure or be supplied by a particular company.

  4. Up to date data and predictive analytics regarding business failure and/or financial metrics can help to inform pricing and product decisions. By making effective decisions, insurers can improve their ability to compete on price and offerings.
