"The technology has progressed rapidly these last two or three years in part because of the more remote workforce. I also think the last two or three years have changed the customer's willingness to accept and actually now demand more of a remote remote adjustment process. Customers are more and more willing to jump in and help out with the process of collecting information, sharing information, and that just that makes that remote workforce, the remote adjusting that much more likely and viable."

"Analytics and data folks [can] help us identify opportunities within the claim adjusting process to either be more accurate, more efficient, or provide better customer service. At Plymouth Rock we have people dedicated to the claims organization focused on data analysis. But they're also part of a larger ecosystem of data folks.
