The 12-year-old kid in me loves The Simpsons and one of my favorite quotes, issued by Homer, is easily adaptable to the insurance industry and what we all like to call “the data problem.”
The line, as adapted by yours truly is as follows: “Data, the source of—and answer to—all of an insurance carrier's problems.”
Those who recognize the line know that Homer was referring to beer, but Homer never worked for an insurance carrier that, say, had a data warehouse that was virtually inoperable because the data itself was of such poor quality.
