After the integration, insurance companies can analyse their full set of driving and crash data together with their traditional data directly in Octo’s platform using SAS tools.
The pooled analytics capabilities of SAS and Octo will give insurers with prebuilt scores, interactive dashboards and smart visualisations as well as an assortment of SAS enterprise-level tools.
Further, availability of traditional and telematics data in a single platform will allow insurance companies to make better decisions and execute them quickly using the real-time insights, the companies said.
