In this Technology Spotlight edition of Insurance News Analysis we delve into a couple of interesting niche topics that are primed for a new technology approach. Firstly, the upcoming switch to Blueprint Two has sparked a little bit of debate over Bordereaux management. We discuss whether these legacy processes that rely a lot on excel need to be reinvented<\/a> or whether what\u2019s really needed are modernized underwriting platforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n Secondly, third party litigation funding<\/a> (TPLF), whereby investors often unknown and undisclosed in court, will fund a prolonged lawsuit in hopes of taking a share of the claimants payout, has caused some controversy lately. There\u2019s a lot of legal and ethical questions around this right now, but we concentrate on the technology that could come into play as carriers seek to find a speedy and fair resolution for their customers.<\/p>\n Lastly and just in time for Earth Day, there\u2019s news from the insurance tech ecosystem that Zesty AI<\/a> are now providing P&C carriers more granular property risk data, analyzing factors like vegetation density and construction materials and weather patterns.
