Motivation
Tokio Marine’s GCs collect a lot of data required for underwriting products only at the time of sale. Over time, many data points have been captured with little insights derived other than for underwriting purposes. This data is stored on multiple platforms. While some customers have multiple products, it currently is limited in the utilization of data captured to really understand the profile of the customers, what they bought, channel preference, etc
