Usage Based Insurance (UBI) is a type of auto insurance that prices insureds’ risk by using actual driving data collected by a device. As Business Architect, I have responsibility for collecting, managing, and making sense of the driving data. This is a big data application, and informs policy decisions and claims management. CSAA Insurance Group is a trusted and respected company with high corporate ethics. While CSAA IG writes insurance in 26 states, we are very involved in our local communities, and have a strong social conscience.
