Discover how the insurance and commercial automotive industries are making the most out of M2M Telematics for Usage Based Insurance

London (PRWEB UK) 5 January 2014

The telematics sector represents one of the greatest business opportunities for Machine-to-Machine (M2M). From less than 90 million connections globally in 2010 the automotive M2M market will grow to almost 1.4 billion connections by the end of 2020; expecting that the sector will generate €157 billion revenue in 2020. Against this backsdrop, SMi’s 2nd annual M2M Telematics for Usage Based Insurance conference will provide the ideal platform to explore the various opportunities this presents in everything from automotive to public safety to financial services.

The two-day event will bring together senior level delegates from all aspects of the insurance and commercial automotive industries to find out how to make the most of the new business opportunities brought about by the transformation of old business models to new usage based insurance products.

Getting the most from Big Data in the Connected Car market Pre-Conference Workshop | Led by Emil Berthelsen, Principal Consultant, Machina Research
The connected car is introducing significant changes to the automotive industry. While enabling optimised vehicle performance, improved service routines and enhanced customer experiences, the connected car has also opened significant opportunities from the data that is generated. This connectivity and data has started to build new relations in the industry, and provides further opportunities for e.g. vendors, insurers, public organisations, and system integrators to combine this data with other data sources, design new propositions, and deliver new benefits to customers. Attendees of the workshop will be encouraged to participate actively during the workshop; openly sharing their experiences, perspectives and ideas.
