The failure rate of AI projects is notoriously high, with poor data quality being the primary culprit. This challenge is particularly acute in the insurance industry, where data is often fragmented across internal systems and third-party administrators. To solve this foundational problem, CLARA Analytics, the leading provider of AI for insurance claims, has launched CLARA Data Engineering as a Service (DEaaS). This new offering transforms siloed, unstructured data into clean, AI-ready intelligence, serving as the essential foundation for the next chapter of its platform: agentic reasoning, which will deliver intelligent, reasoned recommendations directly to claims professionals.

CLARA Analytics launches Data Engineering as a Service (DEaaS) for insurers.
It solves the core data problem where 80% of AI projects fail due to poor data quality.
The service ingests, cleans, and certifies both structured and unstructured data.
This clean data powers CLARA's new "agentic reasoning" capabilities.
Agentic AI will provide reasoned recommendations, not just predictions, for complex claims.
The goal is to move the industry beyond prediction to intelligent decision support.
Solving the Foundational Data Challenge
CLARA DEaaS directly addresses the critical barriers to AI success in insurance. The service leverages CLARA's data engineering expertise to find data from all siloed sources, both internal and external. It then transforms this data through cleansing, mapping, and validation, ensuring integrity and readiness. Finally, it packages and delivers certified intelligence with a robust framework for AI governance and compliance. This process dramatically boosts a company's data quality index, making their investments in AI—both within the CLARA platform and across other vendors—successful and future-proof.
Powering the Next Leap: From Prediction to Agentic Reasoning
Until now, CLARA's platform has operated in the prediction layer, flagging potential issues on claims files. With a foundation of clean data via DEaaS, CLARA is pushing into "agentic reasoning." This represents a significant evolution: moving from simply alerting a professional to a problem, to having AI agents reason through complex scenarios and present clear, actionable pathways forward. These agents, rolling out in 2026, will handle functions like attorney benchmarking and settlement range analysis, delivering insights directly to the claims professional at the moment of decision.
“The lack of AI-ready data is a massive, persistent problem in our industry that limits AI adoption and reduces ROI,” said Heather H. Wilson, CEO of CLARA Analytics. “We have spent years working closely with customers to optimize their data for our products with transformational results. Now, I couldn’t be more excited about the next chapter of the CLARA platform. Through our agentic reasoning capabilities, we can support claims professionals and improve claims outcomes like never before."
By providing both the data foundation and the advanced AI reasoning layer, CLARA is positioning itself as a comprehensive partner for insurers seeking to harness AI not just for efficiency, but for superior claims outcomes and strategic advantage.
