Earlier this week, openIDL took a significant step toward modernizing how the insurance industry collaborates around homeowners data. We officially launched the Homeowners Workstream, an initiative focused on developing a resilient, flexible data standard that supports smarter reporting, analysis, and regulatory transparency — all while preserving privacy and control for participating insurers.
The kickoff featured a presentation by Rob Clark, President and CEO of Cloverleaf Analytics, who laid the groundwork for what will become the foundation of a standardized approach to homeowners insurance data. The team is moving quickly but thoughtfully to translate the flexible model into a usable data standard for homeowners reporting.
From Concept to Reality: A Future-Proof Homeowners Data Standard
Rob’s presentation walked the group through the initial structure of the homeowners data model — a framework designed to be:
-
Resilient, adapting to changing regulatory requirements and market conditions
-
Flexible, so it can serve both insurers’ internal analytics and external data calls
-
Privacy-preserving, in line with openIDL’s distributed architecture
-
Interoperable, with other industry standards and reporting frameworks
Work on this continues with our next call on Monday, August 4 at 2pm ET — open to anyone who wants to join the effort – click here to access the Zoom link.
