UK-based Agile Risk Partners, a managing general agent specialising in underwriting direct and facultative property risk, has partnered with mapping specialist Here Technologies to work on data cleansing solutions for the industry.

Netherlands-based Here Technologies says risk-data quality and veracity are a massive issue for insurers and reinsurers.

“This is a significant blocker to effective underwriting, and to the credibility of the natural catastrophe modelling output,” said Jon Calverley, an insurance industry specialist with the mapping specialist.

“Here is ranked as the world’s number one location platform index with 30-plus years of location experience and our involvement in the autonomous vehicle sector triggered the connection with the Agile team.

“They were looking for [a] cartographer to cleanse data for precise and accurate location intelligence.”

The two partners will host a webinar tomorrow at 2pm AEST to demonstrate their proprietary data cleansing solution, which is available to all brokers, managing general agents and insurers in Australia.
