Y. Eden et al., STORING TOO MUCH INFORMATION IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY, International journal of computer applications in technology, 9(2-3), 1996, pp. 144-150
The paper challenges the premise that all data collected in the insura
nce industry must be stored in the database. This paper applies a cost
/benefit model that allows for testing and assessing of data items cur
rently stored in the database, as well as providing a 'to store or not
to store' decision policy regarding prospective data. An empirical ca
se study of a life insurance agency is presented through which the ide
as are illustrated.
