Open Insurance Data Standards (openIDS) by openIDL

Data is essential in the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry, driving risk assessment, pricing, and innovation.

However, the lack of common data standards leads to billions in annual costs for translation and reporting. This hampers collaboration with regulators and delays effective legislation. Open Insurance Data Standards enables cost-free, industry-wide adoption and improves efficiency.
