Tech Mahindra Launched Big data platform

-
Tech Mahindra has announced the launch of Usage Based Insurance (UBI), a big data and predictive
analysis driven platform for auto insurers. It allows them to adjust premiums according to actual usage patterns of individual drivers instead of industry averages.
UBI

UBI Platform

The platform is flexible to fit to the growing needs of global insurance enterprises, where the market is expected to grow $100 billion plus by the end of the decade.

The solution utilizes the capabilities of Tech Mahindra and AT and T in the areas of multi-vertical, engineering and infrastructure capabilities. As a result of this, the global insurers can reduce their claim costs by up to 20%,while reducing eligible insured driver premiums up to 40%.

This Usage Based Insurance solution is hosted on the seamless AT&T cloud and served through AT and T's global Machine-to-Machine (M2M) capabilities.

What is usage based insurance

This technology is already being used successfully for both car and motorcycle insurance in many
international markets such as Canada, France, Norway, parts of Latin America and the US.

There have been trials and implementations for government insurers, commercial fleet insurers, driving schools and graduated drivers licensing programs – and these has already proven significant improvements in combined loss ratio s, customer acquisition and service costs and customer retention.

How it works

“Pay As You Drive” insurance solutions will be an important growth trend for the next decade. Not only do they respond to the impending need for insurers to design differentiated, personalised products, they help build stronger, more frequent, engaging and meaningful relationships with customers all while improving underwriting and rating methodologies in what is a highly competitive and commoditised market.

A typical UBI solution implementation timeline is around 6-9 months and consists of the UBI configuration and product design, actuarial analysis and market research, systems integration, website and portal development, launch/rollout and all the related change management support required.

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-
Image
SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than...

 Here are five popular SQL queries frequently used in data analysis. 1. SELECT with Aggregations Summarize data by calculating aggregates like counts, sums, averages, etc. SELECT department, COUNT(*) as employee_count, AVG(salary) as average_salary FROM employees GROUP BY department; 2. JOIN Operations  Combine data from multiple tables based on a related column. SELECT e.employee_id, e.name, d.department_name FROM employees e JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.department_id; 3. WHERE Clause for Filtering Filter records based on specified conditions. SELECT * FROM sales WHERE sale_date BETWEEN '2024-01-01' AND '2024-12-31'   AND amount > 1000; 4. ORDER BY Clause for Sorting Sort results in ascending or descending order based on one or more columns. SELECT product_name, price FROM products ORDER BY price DESC; 5. GROUP BY with HAVING Clause Group records and apply conditions to the aggregated results. SELECT department, SUM(salary) as total_salaries FROM employ...
