DataQuick services include customized analytical solutions, credit reporting, flood zone determination services, fraud monitoring, property valuation, and automated decision software.

""The acquisition of MSB and DataQuick significantly expands our footprint in property and casualty insurance and adds additional scale to our existing property data and analytics business.

According to a company release, MSB operations and DataQuick's data licensing and analytics units will be integrated into CoreLogic's data and analytics segment, while DataQuick's flood zone determination and credit servicing operations will be combined with the company's mortgage origination and services segment.

""The acquisition of MSB and DataQuick is consistent with our strategic imperative of growing our D&A segment to over 50% of total CoreLogic revenues. These assets are high-margin; subscription-based business models that generate free cash flow conversion rates above CoreLogic standalone,"" added Frank Martell, CFO of CoreLogic.
