Paul Templar: CEO, VIPR: Data - seen it, clean it, sort it (180)

Data has never been so important or abundant in insurance but finding the right information is still a major challenge for insurers.

That has led to opportunities for companies like VIPR, which is providing extraction and ingestion solutions to help standardise data from third parties and creating analytics to improve underwriting accuracy.

CEO Paul Templar joins Matthew on Podcast 180 to discuss how brokers and insurers are using VIPR’s data and analytics platform to manage data, getting information flowing efficiently across the market, and how VIPR is looking to scale with the help of private equity.

Talking points include:

• Improving communication between insurers, brokers and clients
• Using the cloud to improve data access and processing efficiency
• Producing new underwriting insights through improved processing
• APIs, portals and making technology work
• Working with clients to drive product direction

VIPR was featured in the InsTech London report, Data Extraction and Ingestion: The 40 companies to watch in 2021, which is available as a free download.
