LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In their recent blog titled ‘Insurance Fraud Detection – Data Analytics to The Rescue,’ global analytics and advisory firm Quantzig evaluates some of the ways insurers are using big data to check fraudulency and retain their customers.

Quantzig notes that “using analytical technology is one of the most potent tools which can lead to sophisticated scams being busted. Tools like claims scoring and predictive modeling help detect fraud before the payment is even made.”
