COLUMBIA, S.C., Feb. 15, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EagleEye Analytics, the leading predictive analytics technology provider for the insurance industry, today announced an expansion of its existing partnership with Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Atlas”) (NASDAQ:AFH) to provide advanced predictive analytics for Atlas’ claims. The company initially entered into a long-term services agreement with Atlas in February 2015 to provide its machine learning predictive analytics suite, Talon®.
Following a successful Talon® Profitability Suite deployment throughout 2015, Atlas will now utilize the Talon Claims Suite to apply the power of predictive analytics to Bodily Injury and PIP claims in their “light” commercial auto line.
“Since last year’s Talon Profitability Suite deployment, we have been very impressed with the power of the software and the incremental insights machine-learning driven predictive models can deliver,” commented Scott D. Wollney, Atlas’ President and CEO. “The best way to reduce the cost of insurance to our customers without compromising target margins is by controlling claims expense and increasing efficiency. As a customer-centric organization, we believe that applying advanced analytics to our claims data will help us more quickly allocate the right resources to the right claims, drive better outcomes for our clients and reduce expenses. We will also expect to see improvements in the speed of claims handling, ultimately leading to higher claimant satisfaction. This technology will enhance our already strong value proposition based on decades of experience in our specialty niche and add an incremental level of efficiency.”
“We commend Atlas on their expansion of advanced analytics and predictive modeling across multiple functions. Our analytics tool leverages the significant amount of niche-specific data that Atlas has to optimize efficiency and the customer experience,” said Wade Bontrager, CEO of EagleEye Analytics. “For any company focused on bottom line execution, applying the insights gained from predictive analytics to claims as well as pricing and underwriting can deliver significant improvements in customer service, top line revenue, loss ratio and operating efficiency.”
