For us at Spotam companies’ alliances are a good indication for their strategic approach. The nature of the partnerships a company forms and announces gives us an idea about its leaders’ business and strategic approach. The “Fleet management related partnerships” is a thorough analysis and classification review of Fleet management companies’ alliances announcements. The brief analysis focuses on fleet management related partnerships and meaningful commercial transactions. It includes a graphical analysis of the surveyed companies’ announcements.  The analysis is done with the following classifications:

• Insurance announced deals
• Fleet management announced deals
• Channel partners
• Sales
• M&As
• OEM
• Unique applications
• Technology & product

Following the graphical analysis, the full list of the reviewed announcements is presented, a table for each surveyed company. Each of the tables includes a list of partnerships and commercial transactions that took place between 2015 – 2017. Information presented includes participating companies, brief explanation regarding the nature of the partnership, and a link to the official relevant press release.

Data monetization is currently one of the main challenges faced by the consumer automotive industry, and data exchanges seems to be a principle part of the required solutions. Verisk Data Exchange is one of the pioneering solutions in this area. That’s why we at Spotam chose to speak with Avner Freiberger General Manager of Verisk Innovation center in Tel Aviv, Israel and deeply explore the subject.

At the interview Avner gives the readers a thorough description of data exchange, the services  Verisk offers to insurers, as well as review of data collection and use. Avner also discusses privacy issues, and highlights Verisk’s partnerships in the area. Avner also elaborates about the topic of smart home insurance telematics and the challenges behind it.
