An Intelligent Insurer-hosted webinar on September 3 from 3-4pm BST (London) showcases the many applications of GfK geodata in the insurance and reinsurance industries. A use case by Aon Benfield Impact Forecasting offers a close look at how GfK geodata supports the development of catastrophe models and visualization of exposures, hazards and risks.
GfK is a leading provider of administrative, postal and CRESTA boundary data specifically designed to support reinsurance applications. The Intelligent Insurer-hosted webinar “Manage worldwide risks with GfK geodata & CRESTA zones” demonstrates why GfK geodata is the optimal basis for the full spectrum of risk management activities, such as damage assessment, forecast modeling and premium adjustment.
“Risk analyses and predictions are only as reliable as the foundational data on which they’re based,” explains Christopher C. Guider, marketing manager at GfK and a presenter at the forthcoming webinar. “Accurate, up-to-date geodata such as postal boundaries and CRESTA zones is therefore crucial to successfully managing risk in the reinsurance industry. Fragmented, inconsistent boundary data results in errors that can quickly add up to substantial losses for insurance and reinsurance entities.”
The webinar features a use case by Aon Benfield Impact Forecasting that details how the reinsurance intermediary uses GfK geodata and CRESTA zones to calculate natural catastrophe models and better manage risks and exposures in numerous markets.
Another key point of focus are the reformed CRESTA zones, which now offer greater planning flexibility through two resolution options. The CRESTA zones give risk modelers and GIS analysts a unified basis of reporting and data exchange. GfK is the official supplier of the digital CRESTA zone maps and offers the largest collection of postal and administrative boundary data available on the market.
