Analytics for Insurance

‘Insurance was one of the first industries to use analytics, but now the game has changed. There are new types of analytics, new forms of data, and new business models based on them. Insurers need only read this book if they wish to remain in business.’

—Thomas H. Davenport, Distinguished Professor, Babson College; Research Fellow, MIT; Author, Competing on Analytics, Big Data at Work, and Only Humans Need Apply

‘If you want to understand how analytics is applied in insurance then this is THE book to read. Tony has succeeded in writing not just an authoritative and comprehensive review of the insurance industry and analytics but one that is actually enjoyable to read. He covers a range of topics that extends way beyond the core areas of underwriting, risk modeling and actuarial science for which the industry is known but delves into marketing, people and implementation too. This book brings together the author's extensive knowledge of both insurance and technology and presents it in a form that makes it essential reading for market practitioners and technologists alike.’
