IAT Insurance Group, Selects Valen Technologies' Predictive Analytics Solution
DENVER - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Valen Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of predictive analytics
solutions to the insurance industry, announced the IAT Insurance Group
(IAT), a multi-line insurance group consisting of eight companies and
gross premiums written in excess of $600 million, has selected Valen's
UnderRight predictive analytics underwriting solution to
improve pricing strategies, risk selection and ultimate profitability on
their commercial auto line of business.
IAT selected Valen's UnderRight solution in large part due to the
solution's best of breed predictive modeling, availability of expansive
external data through Valen's Xdata data warehouse, a wealth
of historical underwriting and claims data through the ValenNetworksTM
consortium data warehouse, and Valen's pre-built model delivery
solution. IAT considers Valen's solution as a clear differentiator.
IAT is a major insurer of commercial auto business through various
insurance entities. Valen's UnderRight solution will play a
key role in maximizing the profitability of the company's existing
business, and will provide IAT with powerful predictive analytics and a
sophisticated model to make the most informed decisions as it expands
this important core line of business.
An IAT Executive commented, "We did an extensive market search to
thoroughly evaluate all of the available predictive analytics offerings.
We selected Valen's UnderRight solution due to its extensive
data and its attractive lower total cost of ownership."
IAT further noted, "Since UnderRight includes model deployment software
we are able to dramatically reduce the burden on IAT's already taxed IT
department and ensure the full value of the models will be recognized in
as short a timeframe as possible. In our competitive market, rapid
deployment of value generating solutions is critical."
Dax Craig, Valen's CEO, noted, "We welcome IAT to our client family and
thank them for recognizing the value of our solution as well as that of
our company and people. Our implementation teams are already heads down
building the IAT model while working closely with IAT employees to help
them achieve the maximum benefit from the UnderRight solution."
