Companies teaming to launch data-driven, telematics models for the insurance industry
IRVINE, Calif. and NOVI, Mich., April 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hitachi Solutions America, Ltd., a global systems integrator with leading capabilities in Microsoft solutions and technologies, and BitBrew, a leader in enabling smart connectivity and mobility services, are pleased to announce they have entered into a strategic solutions integration partnership.

Availability of this platform allows Hitachi Solutions America to leverage real-time telematics data streams to rapidly deliver rock-solid, data-driven models and connected, high-value services that better satisfy the demands of today's insurance industry.
"Hitachi Solutions group has a long history of delivering Microsoft-based business solutions for the insurance industry and we are always looking for ways to better meet our customers' needs. And, while we can build anything, we recognize that teaming with mature solutions providers like BitBrew can provide us – and our customers – with more value faster," said Leah Quartano, Insurance Industry Vice President at Hitachi Solutions America, Ltd. "This partnership extends our ability to support insurance, fleet, and smart city industry verticals while accelerating the telematics solution journey for our customers."
Feature rich and user-friendly, BitBrew's Connected Vehicle Platform packages the benefits of IoT, AI, and machine learning driven risk models for policy managers, underwriters, claims processing, and data science teams, making it easier for them to build and adopt a connected, automotive ecosystem that offers policies that:
- Reduce claims processing costs
