Mitchell, a leader in technology, connectivity and information solutions to the Property & Casualty claims and Collision Repair industries, recently launched its Risk and Performance Optimization (RPO) solutions unit.

Led by Keith Peterson, RPO will provide analytics-based automation to insurance claims businesses, and will deliver through Mitchell's core software platforms. The unit will help strengthen Mitchell’s reputation as a top distributor of analytics-based solutions.

"Applying advanced analytics methodologies to claims data has the promise to drive tremendous improvements and insights into the claims handling process and trends overall,” said Mitchell CEO Alex Sun in a recent statement. “RPO will help Mitchell's clients deploy tools that analyze our data streams to improve and ensure fair and effective claim resolution."

A 20-year veteran of the predictive analytics industry, Peterson has previously worked as SVP of Global Data Product Development with Experian and Chief Operating Officer of Claritas.  He was also once employed at Mitchell.

"Claims leaders need access to more insight to identify where they can improve operating performance and better automation to assist adjusters in resolving claims faster and fairly," said Peterson.
