Insurance, Financial Services, and Real Estate
Our European insurance solution is featured in Czech insurance magazine Pojistný obzor (Insurance Horizon). Climate change is increasing the frequency of damage caused by natural catastrophes, particularly floods. The availability of accurate input data and modern modeling technology, as well as cloud deployment systems, simplifies and reduces the cost for insurance companies to underwrite flood risk. Published by Česká asociace pojišťoven (Czech Insurance Association) since 1922, Pojistný obzor (Insurance Horizon) provides a platform for insurance professionals to engage and learn about key topics in the domestic and foreign insurance markets.
