Eagleview and MIS Collaborating on Improved Aerial Photography
In a significant move for the insurance industry, McKenzie Intelligence Services (MIS) and Eagleview have announced a collaboration to deliver best-in-class geospatial intelligence and aerial imagery for North America. The collaboration combines MIS's military-grade intelligence analysis with Eagleview's high-resolution pre- and post-event aerial imagery, aiming to provide insurers with faster and more accurate claims processing following catastrophic events.
Eagleview, after completing a multi-year transformation initiative, is now offering its aerial imagery to all GEO users. The GEO platform, which can be accessed by Eagleview clients at any time, houses a library of pre- and post-event aerial imagery, offering wider US event coverage of perils such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, and wildfires.
MIS has developed an industry-leading AI damage classifier to enhance its human intelligence-led damage assessments for insurers. This AI damage classifier, a part of the GEO platform, is designed to speed up the claims process for insurers following catastrophic events.
The transformation at EagleView focused on uniting aerial and drone imagery, AI-powered analytics, and high precision. This has resulted in the creation of CAT360, a ground-breaking solution designed to provide (re)insurers with enhanced geospatial intelligence following catastrophic events.
Forbes McKenzie, CEO and Founder of MIS, stated that the collaboration further establishes GEO as the go-to disaster response platform for carriers and matches the best intelligence on the market with the best aerial imagery on the market.
As part of the collaboration, Eagleview clients will gain immediate access to the GEO platform and its historical archive of over 200 global events, where they can securely host their portfolio data and enhance imagery with verified exposure, claims, and building-level analysis from the MIS team.
In the last year, MIS has released comprehensive intelligence reports on 25 CAT events in North America and monitored a further 42 more. Within the same timeframe, Eagleview has taken 34,000 km2 worth of aerial imagery across North America, with 60 individual flights capturing the effects of 26 unique CAT events.
The collaboration enables MIS to deliver post-event assessments faster and with deeper insights than ever before. Companies such as GeoSpock and EagleView have announced collaborations to provide enhanced geospatial intelligence and aerial imagery to improve the insurance industry's response to North American catastrophes.
With this collaboration, both MIS and Eagleview are set to revolutionize the insurance industry's response to catastrophic events, offering faster, more accurate, and more comprehensive geospatial intelligence and aerial imagery solutions.
