Insurance fraud problem
» 10% of all P&C claims are fraudulent –
representing over $30 Billion of cost to the industry
» Industry best practice finds fraud in 1 to 3% of

» The Claim Adjuster workforce is aging: 70% is over
45 years old – knowledge and experience
is leaving the industry
» Specialization has limited the breadth of claim
adjuster knowledge
» A high percentage of all claims involve
unstructured data and manually intensive analysis
