SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Clearspeed, the leading provider of voice analytics technology for risk assessment in the insurance, government, and security sectors, today announced the release of Clearspeed Surge. As a unique and automated way to help identify and triage risk, Clearspeed Surge helps insurers quickly and confidently process large claim volumes during catastrophic, weather-based events.

By fast-tracking low-risk customers, Clearspeed Surge improves customer satisfaction while freeing skilled adjusters to focus on higher value claims.

During a “surge” event, call volumes can increase more than 50x, with the risk of opportunistic claims fraud growing exponentially for insurance carriers. Clearspeed Surge provides short, simple, and automated questionnaires that detect risk with greater than ninety-seven percent accuracy. The light touch application easily integrates with existing systems and offers twenty-four seven availability.

“Insurance fraud poses a consistent and massive threat to organizations across the globe, and in the midst of a volatile climate environment and economic uncertainty, it is paramount to implement airtight processes that assure rapid accuracy in outcomes,” stated Matthew Cantle, Managing Director at The Cotswold Group, a Clearspeed partner. “Clearspeed Surge arrives at a critical juncture with an answer to businesses’ needs in addressing the demand for a trusted and highly scalable solution.”
