In a conversation with COVER Magazine, Angus Black, Director at BarnOwl Data Services, discussed the critical role of data standards in the insurance industry. He emphasised that data standards consist of three main elements: defining data fields, identifying essential data elements, and setting clear rules for data collection. Angus explained that while regulations provide a framework for data uniformity, flexibility and repeatability are key to ensuring accurate and shareable data across platforms. Automation plays a vital role in managing large volumes of data, but human oversight is necessary to ensure accuracy and handle unique cases.
